Nano-Sized Ultrasound Contrast Agent: Salting-Out Method by Margaret A. Wheatley, John Lewandowski

“…Viscosity had the opposite effect on echogenicity of the resultant nano-UCA, which ranged from 21.69 ± 0.78 dB for 2% PVA to 12.1 ± 0.8 dB for 10% PVA. The UCA prepared with 10% PVA, however, had a longer half-life in the ultrasound beam (t ½ > 15 minutes vs t ½ < 10 minutes), suggesting a thicker shell. …”
