    Abstract: Acoustic properties of odontocete head tissues, including sound velocity, density, and acoustic impedance, are important parameters to understand dynamics of its echolocation. In this paper, acoustic properties of head tissues from a freshly dead short-finned pilot whale (Globicephala macrorhynchus) were reconstructed using computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound. The animal's forehead soft tissues were cut into 188 ordered samples. Sound velocity, density, and acoustic impedance of each sample were either directly measured or calculated by formula, and Hounsfield Unit values (HUs) were obtained from CT scanning. According to relationships between HUs and sound velocity, HUs and density, as well as HUs and acoustic impedance, distributions of acoustic properties in the head were reconstructed. The inner core in the melon with low-sound velocity and low-density is an evidence for its potential function of sound focusing. The increase in acoustic impedance of forehead tissues from inner core to outer layer may be important for the acoustic impedance matching between the outer layer tissue and seawater. In addition, temperature dependence of sound velocity in soft tissues was also examined. The results provide a guide to the simulation of the sound emission of the short-finned pilot whale.

    Abstract: In this paper, a new composite nano-particle for both contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging and cell therapy is introduced. The carbon nanotubes are used for carriers due to their unique hollow structure, nano-diameter and good biocompatibility. The targeted protein, the hematoporphyrin and the gold nanoparticles are assembled on the surface of the carbon nanotubes. The targeted protein is used as tumor localization. As a kind of sonosensitizer, the hematoporphyrin can produce the singlet oxygen while being activated by ultrasound and are studied for its effects of antitumor and apoptosis induction recently. It is worthwhile to note that the singlet oxygen has a very short lifetime and will transfer to triplet oxygen with light emission band at 1268 nm, or 634 nm and 703 nm. Triplet oxygen is the ground state of the oxygen molecule and much of them will form nano oxygen bubbles under body temperature which can be used as contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging agent. At the same time, the gold nanoparticles which have good biocompatibility can absorb the light emission and produce the acoustic signals of some bandwidth.

    Abstract: The acoustic scattering echo of an underwater target usually consists of multiple overlapped components. The time delay of each reflection is of great importance to estimate the size of the target. Herein, a sparse approach is presented to obtain the estimation of time delays with high resolution and accuracy. The parameters are determined using a dictionary with many more elements than expected reflections, with each dictionary element being found as the convolution of the transmitted signal and a potential impulse. The estimation problem is then converted into a convex optimization problem, which is then solved efficiently using the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) framework. The estimation accuracy depends on the grid of the dictionary. To obtain high resolution, a dictionary refinement technique is employed. To model the time-varying nature of the signal amplitudes, we further estimate the temporal envelope of the signal using a weighted combination of splines. Using this technique, the algorithm can estimate both the time-delay and amplitude of a reflection simultaneously, without the need of prior information about the number of components. The method can be applied for the separation of overlapped components and high-resolution estimation of multi-angle echoes.

    Abstract: Sparse signal representation method has been proven to be effective to estimate and separate the multiple backscattered echoes from underwater target. Usually, the transmitted signal is used as a template to generate the dictionary. It is efficient under assumptions that the knowledge of signal components is perfectly known, or the deviations from the dictionary can be ignored. However, the properties of the echoes differ from the clean reference signal because of the scattering mechanism. In contrast, it has necessity to extract these deviations to have deep insight of the target. Herein, we propose a sparse method that allows the dictionary to be updated. The initial dictionary is defined as a usual way, i.e., based on the transmitted signal. Then, we use a constrained optimization problem to generate dictionary that differs from the original one, introducing an updating procedure. We introduce two constraints, one is to penalize the updated dictionary to be sparse and the other one is to ensure the elements do not deviate too much from the original dictionary. In this way, the resulting dictionary can be used to reconstruct the backscattered echoes, which is illustrated to be efficient with high accuracy by simulated and experimental results.

    Abstract: The interfacial tension (IFT) of fluids plays an essential role in industrial, biomedical, and synthetic chemistry applications; however, measuring IFT at ultralow volumes is challenging. Here, we report a novel method for sessile drop tensiometry using surface acoustic waves (SAWs). The IFT of the fluids was determined by acquiring the silhouette of an axisymmetric sessile drop and applying iterative fitting using Taylor's deformation equation. Owing to physiochemical differences, upon interacting with acoustic waves, each microfluid has a different streaming velocity. This streaming velocity dictates any subsequent changes in droplet shape (i.e., height and width). We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SAW-based tensiometry technique using blood plasma to screen for high leptin levels. The proposed device can measure the IFT of microscale liquid volumes (up to 1 μL) with an error margin of only ±5% (at 25 °C), which deviates from previous reported results. As such, this method provides pathologists with a solution for the pre-diagnosis of various blood-related diseases.

    Abstract: Despite the promise of microbubble-mediated focused ultrasound therapies, in vivo findings have revealed over-treated and under-treated regions distributed throughout the focal volume. This poor distribution cannot be improved by conventional pulse shapes and sequences, due to their limited ability to control acoustic cavitation dynamics within the ultrasonic focus. This paper describes the design of a rapid short-pulse (RaSP) sequence which is comprised of short pulses separated by μs off-time intervals. Improved acoustic cavitation distribution was based on the hypothesis that microbubbles can freely move during the pulse off-times. Flowing SonoVue® microbubbles (flow velocity: 10 mm/s) were sonicated with a 0.5 MHz focused ultrasound transducer using RaSP sequences (peak-rarefactional pressures: 146–900 kPa, pulse repetition frequency: 1.25 kHz, and pulse lengths: 5–50 cycles). The distribution of cavitation activity was evaluated using passive acoustic mapping. RaSP sequences generated uniform distributions within the focus in contrast to long pulses (50 000 cycles) that produced non-uniform distributions. Fast microbubble destruction occurred for long pulses, whereas microbubble activity was sustained for longer durations for shorter pulses. High-speed microscopy revealed increased mobility in the direction of flow during RaSP sonication. In conclusion, RaSP sequences produced spatiotemporally uniform cavitation distributions and could result in efficient therapies by spreading cavitation throughout the treatment area.
