In Vivo Demonstration of Cancer Molecular Imaging with Ultrasound Radiation Force and Buried-Ligand Microbubbles by Mark A. Borden, Jason E. Streeter, Shashank R. Sirsi, Paul A. Dayton

“…Using a clinical ultrasound scanner, microbubbles were activated, imaged, and silenced. The results showed visually conspicuous images of tumor neovasculature and a twofold increase in ultrasound radiation force enhancement of acoustic contrast intensity for buried-ligand microbubbles, whereas no such increase was found for exposed-ligand microbubbles. …”

Ultrasonic Analysis of Peptide- and Antibody-Targeted Microbubble Contrast Agents for Molecular Imaging of αβ-Expressing Cells by Paul A. Dayton, David Pearson, Jarrod Clark, Scott Simon, Patricia A. Schumann, Reena Zutshi, Terry O. Matsunaga, Katherine W. Ferrara

“…Frequency–domain analysis demonstrates that adherent targeted bubbles exhibit high-amplitude narrowband echo components, in contrast to the primarily wideband response from free microbubbles. Results suggest that adherent targeted contrast agents are differentiable from free-floating microbubbles, that targeted contrast agents provide higher sensitivity in the detection of angiogenesis, and that conventional ultrasound imaging techniques such as signal subtraction or decorrelation detection can be used to detect integrin-expressing vasculature with sufficient signal-to-noise.…”
