Double passive cavitation detection of Optison (TM) shell rupture

An improved understanding of ultrasound contrast agent (UCA) shell rupture is required to optimize therapeutic and diagnostic use. This experimental and theoretical study aims to explore the mechanism of UCA shell rupture by determining thresholds as a function of ultrasonic excitation parameters (d...
