Scheme showing microbubble behavior in acoustic fields.

Notes: At very low intensity, ultrasound induces linear oscillation of the microbubble. At low intensity, ultrasound induces oscillation of the microbubble with a gradual increase in microbubble diameter until it reaches a resonant diameter, at which point stable oscillation occurs. At high intensity, ultrasound causes a rapid increase in the diameter of the microbubble for a few cycles, which induces bubble disruption.
