Contrast agents for medical ultrasound imaging is a field of
growing interest. A large amount of literature has been published
on the medical applications of such contrast agents. However, there
is no textbook giving a broad overview of the physics and acoustics
of the agents. This monograph aims to fill this gap. The book is
written by a physicist, from a physics point of view, and it tries
to draw links from the physics and acoustics to the medical imaging
methods, but medical applications are mainly included for
background information. The book consists of nine chapters. The
first three chapters give a broad overview of the acoustic theory
for bubble-sound interaction, both linear and nonlinear. Most
contrast agents are stabilized in a shell, and this shell can have
a strong influence on the interaction between the bubbles and the
ultrasound. The effect of the shell is given special attention, as
this is not easily found in other bubble literature. The following
chapters, 4, 5, 6, and 7, describe experimental and theoretical
methods used to characterize the acoustic properties of the agents,
and results of studies on some agents. Chapter 8 shows how the
theory and the experimental results can be combined and used to
model various phenomena by means of computer simulations. The main
purpose of the simulations is to get insight into the mechanisms
behind the described phenomena, not to get accurate predictions and
values. The book is aimed at both newcomers into the field, as well
as those who are more experienced but want better insight into the
acoustics of the contrast bubbles.
