Acoustic Technologies in Biology and Medicine is a comprehensive and well-balanced resource that encompasses all the necessary technical, theoretical, and applied multidisciplinary knowledge related to acoustics. By adopting a multidisciplinary approach, involving fluid mechanics, physics, chemistry, electronics, and the life sciences, this book provides a unified and competent overview of the field.

The fundamental principles of acoustic wave generation and propagation, as well as various acoustic systems and technologies, are explored in depth. The interplay of physical forces, theoretical foundations, and state-of-the-art biomedical applications of acoustics is emphasized throughout.

State-of-the-art applications of acoustics in biology and medicine are presented, showcasing the use of acoustics in 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.

Contributions to and editing of this book have been made by highly qualified professionals with extensive experience in the field. Sample topics covered include materials for acoustic wave generation and modulation, ultrasound imaging, and photoacoustic imaging and sensing for biomedical applications. Therapeutic ultrasound, the application of ultrasound responsive reagents for drug delivery systems, and acoustic levitation and acoustic holograms are also discussed.

Different technologies of acoustic systems, such as bulk and surface acoustic wave-based platforms, acoustic imaging, acoustic sensors, and acoustic levitators, are explored. Acoustic Technologies in Biology and Medicine serves as a cornerstone reference, bridging the gap between rapidly advancing acoustic technologies and their applications in biology and medicine.

This book is an essential resource for researchers, scientists, engineers, and students interested in exploring the multidisciplinary field of acoustics and its applications in biology and medicine.
