In this study, novel perfluorocarbon-filled microbubbles as ultrasound contrast agent were fabricated using ultrasonication of a surfactant mixture of sorbitan monostearate (Span 60) and polyoxyethylene 40 stearate (PEG40S) in aqueous media. The microbubbles generated from a 1:9 mixture of PEG40S/Sp

We have conducted initial studies that demonstrated the feasibility of employing ultrasonic contrast agents with very-high-frequency ultrasound (VHFU), using wideband transducers with center frequencies near 40 MHz. These studies were undertaken with an ultimate objective of quantifying perfusion in
