Quantification of the ATC-generated total CSK contractile force change. (a) Change of total CSK contractile force versus accumulative bubble displacements for different experimental groups. Solid lines represent linear fits of experimental data. (b and c) Average accumulative bubble displacements (b) and corresponding changes in total CSK contractile force (c). Ultrasound parameters: frequency 1.25 MHz, acoustic pressure 0.05 MPa for SB-ATC and 0.015 MPa for TB-ATC, PRF 1 Hz, pulse duration 50 ms. (d) Peak velocity of microstreaming and shear stress generated by a cavitating microbubble versus acoustic pressure. The solid line represents the theoretical calculation. (e) Streaming velocity and shear stress around a cavitating bubble (radius 1.8 μm) versus the distance/bubble radius. Ultrasound parameters for d and e: frequency 1.25 MHz, acoustic pressure 0.05 MPa, PRF 1 Hz, and pulse duration 50 ms. To see this figure in color, go online.
