Abstract: Biomedical acoustics is one of the forefront research areas of modern medical science and technology. It harnesses the power of sound and vibration to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic methods and devices to address the current challenges in healthcare. Biomedical ultrasound, a sub-area of biomedical acoustics, has been well-known as a medical imaging method, especially in obstetric or prenatal imaging (imaging babies inside mothers’ wombs). In addition to providing anatomical information about the human body, an emerging technique, namely ultrasound elastography, can also provide quantitative information such as tissue stiffness, greatly enhancing the diagnosis capability of various diseases, including cancer. In this talk, I will introduce three cases of my work in ultrasound elastography: (1) applying the conventional strain imaging and shear wave elastography for tissue internal pressure estimation, (2) developing surface acoustic wave elastography for imaging superficial tissues, and (3) developing guided wave elastography for imaging layered tissues. In addition, I will also briefly mention some on-going research in my lab, hoping to attract interest and talent from the audience for potential collaborations.
Bio: Jingfei Liu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas, USA. He obtained his first Ph.D. in Mechanics and Energy from the University of Lorraine, France, in 2013, completed postdoc training in Biomedical Engineering at the University of California, Davis, in 2017, and received his second Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2020. After joining Texas Tech in 2021, his research has been focused on (i) the investigation of the principles in the interaction of sound, especially ultrasound, with biological tissues and (ii) the application of these principles in developing both diagnostic and therapeutic technologies for health problems such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
