Improving the Performance of Phase-Change Perfluorocarbon Droplets for Medical Ultrasonography: Current Progress, Challenges, and Prospects
Figure 11
For each MR acquisition over time, the maximum change in temperature (a) at the focus (ROI) and (b) surface of the phantom was extracted from the corresponding horizontal slices from those locations. Time curves were averaged, and data are presented as the means ± s.d. (). Phantoms contained 0.01 μL of nanodroplets or microbubbles per milliliter of phantom material or no agents (control).
