Stages

1.
Cell-free phantom testing with purified gas vesicles(functional_characterization)
The abstract presents phantom imaging with purified GVs as an initial test context for the harmonic imaging hypothesis before cellular and in vivo validation.
Selection: Assess harmonic imaging performance on purified GVs in tissue-mimicking phantoms.
2.
Imaging of mammalian cells expressing gas vesicles(confirmatory_validation)
The abstract explicitly includes mammalian cells genetically modified to express GVs as a validation context for the method.
Selection: Test whether HxAM improves detection of GV-producing mammalian cells in vitro.
3.
In vivo mouse liver imaging after systemic gas vesicle infusion(in_vivo_validation)
The abstract uses mouse liver imaging in vivo to test whether the method improves GV detection in intact organisms after systemic delivery.
Selection: Evaluate in vivo imaging performance and depth after systemic infusion of GVs.
4.
Backscattered spectral investigation(secondary_characterization)
The abstract states that investigation into the backscattered spectra further elucidates the advantages of harmonic imaging.
Selection: Investigate backscattered spectra to elucidate the advantages of harmonic imaging.

used as an amplitude modulation imaging approach for gas vesicles

The abstract states that prior approaches such as AM have sensitivity limitations relative to HxAM. It does not claim xAM is destructive, but it is presented as less sensitive than the new harmonic variant.; inferior to HxAM for isolating GV nonlinear acoustic signature according to this abstract
