Abstract<\/h2>\n

Magnetic microbubbles which can be controlled by an external magnetic field have been explored as a method for precise and\u00a0efficient drug delivery. In this paper, a technique for the fabrication of microbubble encapsulated magnetic spheres is presented. The\u00a0resultant magnetic spheres were subsequently imaged using ultrasound and the encapsulated microbubbles proved to appear as bright spots\u00a0and resulted in enhanced ultrasound image contrast, as compared to the solid magnetic spheres which appeared dull. A tracking algorithm\u00a0was then developed for the tracking of the magnetic microbubbles based on optical flow tracking. Further development of the magnetic\u00a0microbubbles and tracking algorithm can lead to future use of the tracking algorithm in the case of in vivo injection of the magnetic\u00a0microbubbles.<\/p>\n
