PY - 2017 DA - 2017/01/24 TI - An evaluation of the sonoporation potential of low-boiling point phase-change ultrasound contrast agents in vitro JO - Journal of Therapeutic Ultrasound SP - 7 VL - 5 IS - 1 AB - Phase-change ultrasound contrast agents (PCCAs) offer a solution to the inherent limitations associated with using microbubbles for sonoporation; they are characterized by prolonged circulation lifetimes, and their nanometer-scale sizes may allow for passive accumulation in solid tumors. As a first step towards the goal of extravascular cell permeabilization, we aim to characterize the sonoporation potential of a low-boiling point formulation of PCCAs in vitro.
