摘要

There has been growing interest in nanobubbles (NBs) for vascular and extravascular ultrasound contrast imaging and therapeutic applications. Studies to date have generally utilized low frequencies (<12 MHz), high concentrations (>10(9) mL(-1)), and uncalibrated B-mode or contrast-mode on commercial systems without reporting investigations on NB signatures upon which the imaging protocols should be based. We recently demonstrated that low concentrations (10(6) mL(-1)) of porphyrin-lipid-encapsulated NBs scatter nonlinearly at low (2.5, 8 MHz) and high (12.5, 25, 30 MHz) frequencies in a pressure threshold-dependent manner that is advantageous for amplitude modulation (AM) imaging. Here, we implement pressure-calibrated AM at high frequency on a commercial preclinical array system to enhance sensitivity to nonlinear scattering of three phospholipid-based NB formulations. With this approach, improvements in contrast to tissue ratio relative to B-mode between 12.4 and 22.8 dB are demonstrated in a tissue-mimicking phantom, and between 6.7 and 14.8 dB in vivo.
