| Abstract | Ultrasound contrast agents consist of gas-filled microbubbles stabilized by a shell. Under ultrasound insonification, these bubbles oscillate nonlinearly with resonance frequencies being well within the diagnostic range. Currently, different detection methods are proposed, often with a heuristic reasoning based on the bubble nonlinearity being modeled by a time-invariant polynomial characteristic. However, it has been demonstrated [Borsboom, 2005] that microbubbles exhibit the behavior of a nonlinearity with memory. To optimize detection schemes, we propose to take this into account by ultrasound contrast agent modeling with a Wiener series. With these models, which can be identified from acoustic measurements, nonlinear system theory can be applied to improve detection methods. The feasibility of contrast agent modeling by Wiener series was evaluated on a contrast agent simulation, implemented by a modified Rayleigh-Plesset differential equation. For a sinusoidal input, the Wiener series approximated contrast agent behavior with a mean square error of 7.6% of the power of the contrast agent signal. The Wiener series approach was subsequently validated in an experimental setup where the nonlinear characteristics of a commercially available contrast agent were identified. The model obtained allowed for a mean square prediction error of 2.6 % of the power of the measured signal for a pseudo-random multilevel sequence. With these experiments, it has been shown that the modeling of the oscillation behavior of ultrasound contrast agents with a Wiener series is feasible |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
