Acoustic manipulation and elastography Imaging System

Abstract:
Biomedical ultrasonic technology is an interdisciplinary area of acoustics and biomedical engineering with great clinic and industrial values. It has been significantly promoted by the investigation of some scientific frontiers including the accurate prediction of acoustic radiation force, acoustic manipulation and ultrasound imaging. Within this area, Dr. Hairong Zheng achieved several extraordinary progress: developing a novel numerical simulation method for acoustic radiation force calculation in a complex acoustic field, which provided a powerful tool for designing a special acoustic radiation force field; presenting a precise and programmable microchip based method and the acoustic sieve to manipulate particles; understanding the nonlinear dynamic behavior for an elastic-shelled microbubble excited by ultrasound; proposing a new ultrasound molecular imaging technology based on the microbubbles' nonlinear acoustic characteristics and a multi-functional ultrasound technology integrating diagnosis and therapy; developing a commercial ultrasound scanner using acoustic radiation force for quantitative elasticity measurement, which has been commercialized and used for clinic.
