Microbubbles are microspheres containing a shell-encapsulated gas, which are used as intravascular ultrasound contrast agents in diagnostic echocardiography (1). Although microbubbles may vary in their shell composition, all expand and contract (vibrate) when exposed to specific frequencies of ultrasound at appropriate acoustic pressures (2). Increasingly, bioeffects caused by ultrasound-induced microbubble vibration in vivo have been harnessed for therapeutic gain.
