Correlation of rupture dynamics to the nonlinear backscatter response from polymer-shelled ultrasound contrast agents

Polymer-shelled ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) may expel their encapsulated gas subject to ultrasound-induced shell buckling or rupture. Nonlinear oscillations of this gas bubble can produce a subharmonic component in the ultrasound backscatter. This study investigated the relationship between th...
