Vaporization of PFC droplets as a result of exposure to ultrasonic pulses. Shown here, a droplet of dodecafluoropentane encapsulated in a lipid shell is stable in vitro at 37°C, but vaporizes upon exposure to a 5 MHz ultrasonic pulse. The phase-transition results in a bubble approximately 5–6 times larger (unpublished data).
