Ultrafast optical and passive acoustic mapping characterization of nanoscale cavitation nuclei based on gas vesicle proteins

Genetically encodable gas-filled particles, known as gas vesicles (GVs), have shown promise as a biomolecular contrast agent for ultrasound imaging and have the potential to be used as cavitation nuclei for ultrasound therapy. In this study, we used passive acoustic mapping techniques to characteriz...
