Monodispersity Increases Adhesion Efficiency and Specificity for Ultrasound-Targeted Microbubbles.

Ultrasound molecular imaging with targeted microbubbles (MBs) can be used to noninvasively diagnose, monitor, and study the progression of different endothelial-associated diseases. Acoustic radiation force () can initiate and enhance MB adhesion at the target site. The goal of this study was to elucidate the effects of various MB parameters on targeting.
