Investigating the Impact of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure on Fetal Cardiac Development Using Photoacoustic Tomography

Author(s): Md Farhan Tanvir, Hao Yang, Jason D. Gardner, Huabei Jiang ABSTRACT Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) is a leading cause of developmental abnormalities, yet its effects on fetal cardiac development remain understudied. We employed real-time, label-freemultispectral photoacoustic tomography (PAT) to noninvasively assess cardiac development in mouse fetuses exposed to chronic alcohol. Using a custom-built PAT system, […]
