1. 1. Acoustic Droplet Vaporization : An Assessment of How Ultrasound Wave Parameters Influence the Vaporization Efficiency

   University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

   Author : Sara Öquist; [2020]
   Keywords : Acoustic Droplet Vaporization; Verasonics; Ultrasound; Vaporization Efficiency; Phase-change Contrast Agents;

   Abstract : Acoustic droplet vaporization (ADV) is a process in which a phase shift of a liquified droplet into a gaseous microbubble, is triggered using an ultrasonic wave. In contrast to utilizing conventional contrast agents in ultrasound, the phase change contrast agents used in ADV can extravasate into tumor tissue, and they offer a greater circulatory lifespan, thereby increasing the potential applications in which they can be utilized.

3. 2. Acoustic Characterization of the Cellulose-coated Perfluorocarbon Droplets based on Phase Velocity Measurements

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Emma Lindroth; [2020]
   Keywords : Ultrasound; Droplets; Contrast agent; Cellulose; Perfluorocarbon; Acoustic characterization; Non-destructive evaluation; Phase velocity; Bulk modulus; Compressibility;

   Abstract : Today, microbubbles are one of the most commonly used ultrasound contrast agents, since their high compressibility results in a strongly scattered signal. Despite this advantage, microbubbles experience limitations by the decreased stability and large diameter. READ MORE

4. 3. Acoustic Characterization of the Frequency-Dependent Attenuation Profile of Cellulose Stabilized Perfluorocarbon Droplets

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Lisa Saljén; [2020]
   Keywords : Ultrasound; Contrast Agent; Attenuation; Acoustic Characterization; Non Destructive Evaluation; Perfluorocarbon; Droplet; Cellulose; Oscillation; Acoustic Droplet Vaporization;

   Abstract : The use of ultrasound contrast agents increases the information available for reconstruction during ultrasound imaging. Previously studied microbubbles, consisting of a gas core, are subject to limitations such as a short lifetime and a large size. READ MORE

5. 4. Acoustic Droplet Vaporization of Perfluorocarbon Filled Microdroplets

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Didrik Nimander; [2019]
   Keywords : Medical engineering; Acoustic Droplet Vaporization; Ultrasound; Contrast agent;

   Abstract : The use of peruorocarbon lled droplets for use as Phase Changing Contrast Agents (PCCAs) is a promosing eld. These capsules also have potential to be used for mediated drug delivery. The phase change, which has given the capsules their name, is the process when the capsule transforms from a droplet into a bubble. READ MORE

6. 5. Development of Ultrasound Pulse Sequences for Acoustic Droplet Vaporization

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Isabelle Gouwy; [2019]
   Keywords : Ultrasound; Ultrasound contrast agents; Phase-change contrast agents; Acoustic droplet vaporization; Verasonics;

   Abstract : Ultrasound-mediated drug delivery has been proposed as a safe and non-invasive method to achieve localized drug release. Drug-loaded microbubbles are injected in the vascular system and ultrasound waves are then used to localize and burst the microbubbles at a specific targeted area. READ MORE
