Acoustic technologies have played an increasingly significant role in both biology
and medicine, empowering scientists and clinicians to explore and understand the
intricate workings of living organisms and develop innovative diagnostic and therapeutic
approaches. From ultrasound imaging to acoustic tweezers, from acoustic
biosensors to acoustic stimulation, acoustic technologies have become indispensable
tools in the arsenal of researchers and practitioners in these fields.
Acoustic Technologies in Biology and Medicine is designed to be a cornerstone
reference bridging the rapidly advancing acoustic technologies with state-of-the-art
applications in biology and medicine. The research in acoustics for biology and
medicine requires a multidisciplinary approach involving fluid mechanics, physics,
chemistry, electronics, and the life sciences. The burgeoning success and eminence
of this field is fueled by the realization of groundbreaking technological innovations
and impactful solutions addressing significant biological problems. Thus, it is
imperative to present this field to a diverse audience spanning multiple engineering
disciplines and the life sciences, targeting their involvement and education on the
basic principles, breadth of technologies, and interdisciplinary applications of the
acoustics. In this respect, Acoustic Technologies in Biology and Medicine adopts a
unique role and context to introduce the graduate students and professionals from
a broad range of backgrounds to this active research field, aiming to increase the
synergy and interaction between the engineers and life scientists.
The book takes an interdisciplinary approach by covering the mechanistic and
physical basics, as well as the applications. First, the book covers the underlying
physical and theoretical principles of acoustic technologies. This aims to help the
reader grasp the fundamental principles of acoustics. Second, different technologies
of acoustic systems, including bulk and surface acoustic wave-based platforms,
acoustic imaging, acoustic sensors, and acoustic levitators, are discussed. A clear
understanding of the principles, advantages, and disadvantages of different acoustic
technologies is crucial for evaluating and determining which acoustic methods are
most suitable for particular biological applications. Third, state-of-the-art applications
of acoustics in biology andmedicine are presented. These applications include
single cell and organism manipulation, acoustic biosensing, cancer cell isolation
(liquid biopsy), cell/tissue stimulation and ablation,micro-robot actuation, acoustic
imaging, and drug delivery.
The book is intended for a broad audience, including researchers and students
in physics, biology, and engineering, as well as clinicians and practitioners in
medicine. It is our hope that this book will provide a useful reference and inspire
further research and innovation in the exciting and rapidly evolving field of acoustic
technologies in biology and medicine.
