The purpose of this study was to explore potential techniques for improving subharmonic aided pressure estimation (SHAPE) using buoyancy separated microbubbles. It was shown that Sonazoid exhibits size-dependent responses, especially pertinent to SHAPE, with heightened sensitivity for smaller-sized microbubbles, while Definity showcases nuanced sensitivity changes.
