Abstract :
Detailed information about the response of microbubbles to long ultrasound pulses (>100 cycles) is hampered by the limited time span ultra fast-framing cameras (> 10 MHz) cover. We therefore developed a new imaging mode for the Brandaris 128 camera [1], facilitating high speed imaging during small time windows (segments), equally distributed over a relatively large time span.
