“…Other studies have reported that microbubble linearized image intensity on ultrasound images is proportional to contrast agent concentration within a certain range (Lampaskis and Averkiou 2010). It was also suggested that the time-intensity curve of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can mimic the pharmacokinetic concentration-time curve of bubbles (Hung et al 2011). In the present study, we observed the pharmacokinetic features of nanobubbles and Definity microbubbles in tumor-bearing mice using CEUS techniques similar to the published procedures (Hung et al 2011).…”

“…If a therapeutic agent is delivered directly to a target area the local concentration of a drug can be increased by reducing systemic toxicity [52]. Ultrasound can be applied to guide and achieve such deposition of small elements carried in small bubbles in the blood.…”

“…Sboros et al [36] reported on the backscatter of Uca suspensions as a function of concentration and pressure using definity (duPont Pharmaceutical, Waltham, Ma) and quantison (quadrant Healthcare, nottingham, UK) contrast agents and MIs < 1. Hung et al [37] quantified the destruction effects of different MIs (up to MI = 1) in vivo using SonoVue microbubbles.…”

“…When microbubble properties are investigated using a diagnostic ultrasound scanner, signal saturation can be a problem for quantification of time-intensity curves (TIcs) Manuscript [21], [37]- [39]. The dynamic range of the backscattered signals varies dramatically depending on the bubble concentration and the MI used.…”
