Experimental investigation on the effect of concentration on the resonance frequency of lipid coated ultrasonically excited microbubbles by Hossein Haghi, Mahshid Yaali, Agata A. Exner, Michael C. Kolios

“…Expanding on theoretical models and numerical simulations from previous research, this work experimentally investigates the effect of MB size on the rate of resonance frequency increase with concentration, a phenomenon observed across MBs with two different lipid compositions: propylene glycol (PG) and propylene glycol and glycerol (PGG). Employing a custom-designed ultrasound attenuation measurement setup, we measured the frequency-dependent attenuation of MBs, isolating MBs based on size to generate distinct monodisperse sub-populations for analysis. …”
