Hand-Held Optoacoustic System for the Localization of Mid-Depth Blood Vessels

Author(s): Zohar Or, Ahiad R. Levi, Yoav Hazan and Amir Rosenthal ABSTRACT he ability to rapidly locate blood vessels in patients is important in many clinical applications, e.g., in catheterization procedures. Optical techniques, including visual inspection, generally suffer from a reduced performance at depths below 1 mm, while ultrasound and optoacoustic tomography are better suited […]

Quantitative photoacoustic tomography of skin vasculature predicts subcutaneous implant exposure

Author(s): A. M. Yu, X. Huang, S. M. A. Morais, J. H. Park, D. A. Zopf, S. J. Hollister, and S. Emelianov ABSTRACT Craniofacial implants are prone to skin necrosis and exposure, likely due to implant-induced stress and ischemia. However, this relationship has not been quantitatively validated. Identifying an imaging biomarker of skin vascular health […]

Anatomical Imaging Application Note

TriTom™ Photoacoustic Imaging Platform: Small Animal Anatomical Imaging The ability to directly visualize and evaluate anatomical structures and biological processes in small animal models at the whole-body level is critical for understanding the pathophysiology of human diseases. The TriTom™ small animal imaging platform provides noninvasive high-resolution photoacoustic tomography (PAT) images that can be used to extract functional and […]
