In this study, we used a Siemens Antares system (Siemens Health Care, Inc., Ultrasound Division, Mountain View, CA, USA) with software modifications; a custom array transducer, known as a co-linear array and described elsewhere [26 (link)]; a control system; and a feedback path into the scanner. Images were acquired using the Cadence Contrast Agent Imaging mode (also known as CPS) at 5.33 MHz. For the transfection studies, we used the following parameters: 1.4 MHz, 100-cycle pulse length, 540-Hz PRF, with the CPS imaging frame acquired every second. The transducer was set to face upward, allowing the spacer to be attached to it using ultrasound gel (Aquasonic, Parker Laboratories, Fairfield, NJ, USA) to couple them. On top of the spacer more ultrasound gel was used to couple the mouse thigh to the spacer.

A Siemens Antares system (Siemens Healthcare, Mountain View, CA, USA), equipped with an
Axius Direct Ultrasound Research Interface (URI), was used to acquire the RF signals. A
system provides 16 bit digitized echo signals at a sampling rate of 40 MHz. A VFX13-5
probe with a center frequency of 11.43 MHz was utilized to scan the rats. In the data
acquisition process, the scanning settings were 35 dB/65 dB, 2.5 cm, and 0.7 for gain,
depth, and MI, respectively. RF data for the whole image range (with a 2.5 cm depth) were
acquired. For each rat, two frames of RF data were used for analysis. All the RF data were
stored on a hard disk for subsequent offline analysis.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
