The method uses nondiffractive ultrasound beams, a cross-amplitude modulation sequence, and nonlinear acoustic reporters. Reported reporter implementations include genetically encoded gas vesicles and intravascular microbubble contrast agents.; requires nondiffractive ultrasound beams; requires a cross-amplitude modulation sequence; requires nonlinear acoustic reporters such as genetically encoded gas vesicles or intravascular microbubbles depending on application
The abstract does not show that the method removes the need for specialized acoustic reporters or ultrasound instrumentation. It also does not specify performance across all tissues or applications.; abstract does not specify the exact comparator methods underlying the state-of-the-art benchmark; requires nonlinear acoustic reporters
