| Abstract | Microbubbles for molecular ultrasound imaging are targeted to disease-specific biomarkers. One of the main challenges is to acoustically distinguish free microbubbles from those that are bound to their molecular target. In this study we used the Brandaris 128 high-speed camera to compare the responses to ultrasound of two types of lipid-coated microbubbles (DSPC and DPPC) in their free and bound state aiming to acoustically discriminate them. We found larger shrinkage for DPPC than for DSPC microbubbles in both their free and bound condition, indicating higher acoustical stability for DSPC-based microbubbles. Upon binding the stability of both types did not change significantly. Frequencies of maximum response were similar for DSPC and DPPC microbubbles, whether they were free or bound. In their free state, more DPPC than DSPC microbubbles responded at the subharmonic and the second harmonic frequency, which did not change upon binding. Interestingly, the maximum relative radial excursions at the second harmonic frequency were higher for DSPC microbubbles when they had bound. In conclusion, bound DSPC and DPPC microbubbles had lower maximum relative radial excursions at the fundamental frequency, and had higher maximum relative radial excursions at the second harmonic frequency than the free microbubbles. We found no differences between bound DSPC and bound DPPC microbubbles. The higher maximum relative radial excursions of particularly bound DSPC microbubbles at the second harmonic frequency may provide opportunities to acoustically discriminate them from free microbubbles. |

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.
