Manipulation
Systems
Our goal is to build novel multifunctional acoustic manipulation systems that will be compatible with in vivo animal models.
Core Principle
Gor’kov Potential
The Innovation
Acoustic Force Dynamics.
“We will take advantages of the acoustic radiation force, estimated by the gradient of the Gor’kov potential, to develop sophisticated ultrasound manipulation systems.”
The ARTORG Center for Biomedical Engineering Research is pioneering the integration of acoustic manipulation into complex biological environments. By harnessing precise acoustic radiation forces, we are able to engineer systems that operate non-invasively, providing unprecedented control at the micro-scale within living organisms.
In Vivo Compatibility
Designing multifunctional setups explicitly tailored for safety and efficacy within complex in vivo animal models.
Force Estimation
Leveraging the gradient of the Gor’kov potential to accurately predict and apply acoustic radiation forces.

Our research focuses on the design and implementation of versatile acoustic setups capable of precise particle and cellular manipulation. The diagram illustrates our approach to configuring transducer arrays and establishing stable acoustic fields.
By meticulously calculating the Gor’kov potential gradients, we can optimize the acoustic radiation force to trap, move, and sort matter dynamically, ensuring absolute compatibility with delicate in vivo applications.
