The destruction threshold of ultrasound contrast agents is an important parameter for safety and applications in targeted drug delivery. Since this threshold is a function of the chemical composition of lipid-shelled microbubbles, adjustment of this composition may allow tuning of the destruction threshold. To attain this goal, this study presents a framework for the analysis of the destruction threshold. A method for the theoretical determination of this threshold is presented. Theoretical results are subsequently validated by experiments, yielding a linear dependence between shell viscosity and elasticity and DSPE-PEG2000 concentration.
