Targeted binding of PEG-lipid modified polymer ultrasound contrast agents with tiered surface architecture.
In order for site-directed polymer ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) to provide acoustic enhancement at disease sites to distinguish normal tissue from diseased tissue, the surface of these agents must be functionalized with mixtures of grafted polymers. Here a combination of longer liganded polyethylene glycol (PEG)-lipids and shorter unliganded PEG-lipids were introduced into the oil phase of...
متن کاملThree-dimensional modeling of the dynamics of therapeutic ultrasound contrast agents.
A 3-D thick-shell contrast agent dynamics model was developed by coupling a finite volume Navier-Stokes solver and a potential boundary element method flow solver to simulate the dynamics of thick-shelled contrast agents subjected to pressure waves. The 3-D model was validated using a spherical thick-shell model validated by experimental observations. We then used this model to study shell brea...
متن کاملNonlinear dynamics of lipid-shelled ultrasound microbubble contrast agents
Encapsulated gas microbubbles, known as contrast agents, are widely used in ultrasound medical applications. The present study is devoted to modelling of the spatio-temporal dynamics of lipid-shelled contrast agents. A theoretical model is proposed that describes the radial and translational motion of a lipid-shelled microbubble in an ultrasound field. The model approximates the behaviour of th...
متن کاملSwitching of MRI Contrast Agents with Ultrasound
Purpose The utility of (super)paramagnetic agents to enhance contrast in MRI has been for some time demonstrated in human studies. The contrast provided by these agents arises from their ability to achieve reductions in T1 and T2*. Another approach to designing contrast agents is to consider the use of ultrasound (US). We have developed a method involving the application of US in MRI in the pre...
متن کاملModeling of surface cleaning by cavitation bubble dynamics and collapse.
Surface cleaning using cavitation bubble dynamics is investigated numerically through modeling of bubble dynamics, dirt particle motion, and fluid material interaction. Three fluid dynamics models; a potential flow model, a viscous model, and a compressible model, are used to describe the flow field generated by the bubble all showing the strong effects bubble explosive growth and collapse have...
