Endothelial Adhesion of Targeted Microbubbles in Both Small and Great Vessels Using Ultrasound Radiation Force

The effectiveness of microbubble-mediated ultrasound molecular imaging and drug delivery has been significantly affected by the axial laminar flow of vessels which prevents ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) from targeting vascular endothelium. Studies show that acoustic manipulation could increase t...
