Cavitation-threshold Determination and Rheological-parameters Estimation of Albumin-stabilized Nanobubbles

Abstract Nanobubbles (NBs) are of high interest for ultrasound (US) imaging as contrast agents and therapy as cavitation nuclei. Because of their instability (Laplace pressure bubble catastrophe) and low sensitivity to US, reducing the size of commonly used microbubbles to submicron-size is not triv...
