| Abstract | Ultrasound molecular imaging visualizes disease biomarkers using targeted ultrasound contrast agents (t-UCA). Different lipids result in UCA with different acoustic behavior. In this study, subharmonic (SH) response of MicroMarker UCA and four homemade UCA with different lipid coatings were compared in vitro with a high frequency ultrasound system (Vevo 2100 with MS250 probe). UCA with different size distribution were made with DSPC (UCA A and C) or DPPC (UCA B and D) as main lipid by sonication or Vialmix. We transmitted long bursts (20-cycle, 30 MHz, 10% power, MS250 probe) with pulse inversion sequence for optimized SH imaging. The effect of the UCA concentration on SH imaging was tested using two concentrations: $8.0×10^{6}$ and $4.0×10^{5}$ microbubbles per milliliter. For A, B and D type UCA, attenuation effect is dominant at high concentration. MicroMarker and C type UCA had the highest and most spatially homogeneous distribution of SH response throughout the entire UCA area at high concentration. SH amplitude of MicroMarker dropped about 11 dB when UCA concentration was reduced by a factor of 20. For this low concentration, SH amplitude of B type UCA was 10 dB higher than that for MicroMarker and was homogeneous throughout the UCA area. We showed that for 30 MHz transmit frequency, at low concentration of UCA, DPPC microbubbles have higher SH response than DSPC ones and at high concentration, smaller bubbles (MicroMarker and C) produced the most homogeneous SH responses. Our results suggest that for molecular imaging applications where UCA concentration is low, our B-type and MicroMarker UCA are suitable choices for SH imaging. |

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.
