Enhanced targeting of ultrasound contrast agents using acoustic radiation force.
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound has shown significant promise as a molecular imaging modality. However, one potential drawback is the difficulty that ultrasound contrast agents (UCA) may have in achieving adhesion to target molecules on the vascular endothelium. Microbubble UCA exhibit a lateral migration toward the vessel axis in laminar flow, preventing UCA contact with the endothelium. In the c...
متن کاملAcoustic radiation force-based elasticity imaging methods.
Conventional diagnostic ultrasound images portray differences in the acoustic properties of soft tissues, whereas ultrasound-based elasticity images portray differences in the elastic properties of soft tissues (i.e. stiffness, viscosity). The benefit of elasticity imaging lies in the fact that many soft tissues can share similar ultrasonic echogenicities, but may have different mechanical prop...
متن کاملResonant acoustic radiation force optical coherence elastography.
We report on a resonant acoustic radiation force optical coherence elastography (ARF-OCE) technique that uses mechanical resonant frequency to characterize and identify tissues of different types. The linear dependency of the resonant frequency on the square root of Young's modulus was validated on silicone phantoms. Both the frequency response spectrum and the 3D imaging results from the agar ...
متن کاملAcoustic radiation force on a rigid cylinder in a focused Gaussian beam
The acoustic radiation force resulting from a 2D focused Gaussian beam incident on cylindrical objects in an inviscid fluid is investigated analytically. The incident and the reflected sound fields are expressed in terms of cylindrical wave functions and a weighting parameter, describing the beam shape and its location relative to the particle. Our main interest here is to study the possibility...
متن کاملDetermination of sediments diameter using acoustic waves
The use of acoustic waves in researches related to sea water is of most importance among scientists recently. Since these waves are the only waves, transmitted in water with lowest attenuation and high speed, they can be used in many scientific fields. The main goal of this research is to better understand the physics and mechanisms of sound-seabed interaction, including acoustic penetration, p...
