microbubble (mī'krō-buhb'bel), A vascular contrast material for ultrasound, air stabilized within some kind of membrane, such as a surfactant, like a tiny soap bubble, which gives marked reflections of the signal at higher harmonic frequencies; the size (1-7 mcm) works well in the useful diagnostic frequency range of ultrasound (2-10 Hz).
