ABSTRACT
This study investigates the effects of chronic prenatal alcohol exposure on fetal brain vascular development in mice using photoacoustic tomography. Key vascular parameters such as vessel diameter, density, and oxygen saturation were analyzed from embryonic Days 10 to 20. Results demonstrate significant vascular disruptions in alcohol-exposed groups compared to controls, highlighting the vulnerability of fetal development to alcohol exposure and the utility of photoacoustic tomography in detecting these changes.
