On-chip generation of microbubbles in photoacoustic contrast agents for dual modal ultrasound/photoacoustic in vivo animal imaging

Dual-modal photoacoustic (PA) and ultrasound (US) contrast agents are becoming increasingly popular in recent years. Here, a flow-focusing junction based microfluidic device is used for the generation of nitrogen microbubbles (<7 μm) in two photoacoustic contrast agents: methylene blue (MB) and b...
