  • Preparation of size-controlled microvesicles
    Patent number: 11752222
    Abstract: A method for preparing a suspension of “size-controlled” gas-filled microvesicles by microfluidic manufacturing techniques, which comprises using a gaseous flow comprising a first gas having high solubility in water and a second gas having low 5 solubility in water.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 4, 2019
    Date of Patent: September 12, 2023
    Assignee: Bracco Suisse SA
    Inventors: Tim Segers, Emmanuel Gaud, Gilles Casqueiro, Peter Frinking, Anne Lassus
  • Preparation of size-controlled microparticles
    Patent number: 10918605
    Abstract: A method for preparing a suspension of size-controlled microparticles stabilized by a layer of amphiphilic material. The method, which may be applied to preparations using microfluidic techniques, comprises controlling the temperature of the microparticles during the preparation process and preferably while collecting the formed microparticles.
    Type: Grant

  • Estimation of acoustic level in-situ with non-fundamental analysis
    Patent number: 10368842
    Abstract: A method is provided for use with an ultrasound scanner, wherein an estimate value (particularly, a power level of the ultrasound scanner that is required to apply a desired acoustic pressure level to the body-part, the acoustic pressure level that is actually applied to the body-part when a specific power level is set, an acoustic attenuation that occurs within a patient between a transducer of the ultrasound scanner and the body-part and/or the acoustic attenuation that occurs within the patient between different body-parts) is determined according to a comparison between measurement data (based on a measurement response comprising a non-fundamental component of a measurement echo signal received in response to a measurement excitation signal) and corresponding reference data. Corresponding computer program product, system, therapeutic method, and diagnostic method are also provided.
