We analyze mathematically the acoustic imaging modality using bubbles ascontrast agents. These bubbles are modeled by mass densities and bulk modulienjoying contrasting scales. These contrasting scales allow them to resonate atcertain incident frequencies. We consider two types of such contrasts. In thefirst one, the bubbles are light with small bulk modulus, as compared to theones of the background, so that they generate the Minnaert resonance(corresponding to a local surface wave). In the second one, the bubbles havemoderate mass density but still with small bulk modulus so that they generate asequence of resonances (corresponding to local body waves).  We propose to use as measurements the far-fields collected before and afterinjecting a bubble, set at a given location point in the target domain,generated at a band of incident frequencies and at a fixed singlebackscattering direction. Then, we scan the target domain with such bubbles andcollect the corresponding far-fields. The goal is to reconstruct both the,variable, mass density and bulk modulus of the background in the target region.  1. We show that, for each fixed used bubble, the contrasted far-fields reachtheir maximum value at, incident, frequencies close to the Minneart resonance(or the body-wave resonances depending on the types of bubbles we use). Hence,we can reconstruct this resonance from our data. The explicit dependence of theMinnaert resonance in terms of the background mass density of the backgroundallows us to recover it, i.e. the mass density, in a straightforward way.  2. In addition, this measured contrasted far-fields allow us to recover thetotal field at the location points of the bubbles (i.e. the total field in theabsence of the bubbles). A numerical differentiation argument, for instance,allows us to recover the bulk modulus of the targeted region as well.
