Investigating the Acoustic Response and Contrast Enhancement of Drug-Loadable PLGA Microparticles with Various Shapes and Morphologies

Investigating the Acoustic Response and Contrast Enhancement of Drug-Loadable PLGA Microparticles with Various Shapes and Morphologies

Polymer nanoparticles and microparticles have been used primarily for drug delivery. There is now growing interest in further developing polymer-based solid cavitation agents to also enhance ultrasound imaging. We previously reported on a facile method to produce hollow poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)...
