Tailoring the size of ultrasound responsive lipid-shelled nanodroplets by varying production parameters and environmental conditions

Liquid perfluorocarbon nanodroplets (NDs) are an attractive alternative to microbubbles (MBs) for ultrasound-mediated therapeutic and diagnostic applications. ND size and size distribution have a strong influence on their behaviour in vivo, including extravasation efficiency, circulation time, and r...
