| Abstract | An intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheter was designed to guide and locally deliver microbubbles carrying therapeutic agents. Optimal insonation parameters were determined by modeling microbubble translational displacements using the coupled 1D Rayleigh-Plesset and Drag-displacement equations. A transducer assembly was designed based on the results of microbubble simulations and a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Model. The transducer components were fabricated then assembled into a 1.4 mm (OD) catheter tube. Hydrophone tests were performed to measure transducer output and the resulting output was compared to the FEA model. The final catheter was tested for gene delivery effectiveness by transfecting cells with a cytomegalovirus - plasmid kinase (CMV-PK) Red plasmid DNA. Wall-less flow phantom experiments were also performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of translating microbubbles across a vessel using ultrasound radiation force by measuring change in image intensity of a B-mode scan of the vessel. The resulting change in image intensity was approximately 15 dB. A follow-up experiment with the wall-less flow phantom was performed where microbubbles were initially translated and then burst, resulting in an intensity change of up to 12 dB and then a decrease after destruction back down to 0 dB. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
