Langeveld, Simone A.G. (author), Beekers, Inés (author), Collado Lara, G. (author), van der Steen, A.F.W. (author), de Jong, N. (author), Kooiman, Klazina (author)Phospholipid-coated microbubbles are ultrasound contrast agents that can be employed for ultrasound molecular imaging and drug delivery. For safe and effective implementation, microbubbles must respond uniformly and predictably to ultrasound. Therefore, we investigated how lipid handling and phase distribution affected the variability in the...journal article 2021

(author), Verduyn Lunel, Rogier (author), van der Steen, A.F.W. (author), de Jong, N. (author)Controlling microbubble-mediated drug delivery requires the underlying biological and physical mechanisms to be unraveled. To image both microbubble oscillation upon ultrasound insonification and the resulting cellular response, we developed an optical imaging system that can achieve the necessary nanosecond temporal and nanometer spatial...journal article 2019
