Spatiotemporal Image Reconstruction to Enable High-Frame-Rate Dynamic Photoacoustic Tomography with Rotating-Gantry Volumetric Imagers

Author(s): Refik Mert Cam, Chao Wang, Weylan Thompson, Sergey A. Ermilov, Mark A. Anastasio, Umberto Villa ABSTRACT Significance Dynamic photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) is a valuable imaging technique for monitoring physiological processes. However, current dynamic PACT imaging techniques are often limited to two-dimensional spatial imaging. Although volumetric PACT imagers are commercially available, these systems typically employ a rotating measurement gantry […]

Water-Soluble Fe(II) Complexes for Theranostic Application: Synthesis, Photoacoustic Imaging, and Photothermal Conversion

Authors: Maeva Delcroix, Dr. Anil Reddy Marri, Stéphane Parant, Dr. Philippe C. Gros, Dr. Mathilde Bouché ABSTRACT Significant effort focused on developing photoactivatable theranostics for localized image guided therapy of cancer by thermal ablation. In this context iron complexes were recently identified as photoactivatable theranostic agents with adequate biocompatibility and body clearance. Herein, a series of FeII complexes bearing polypyridine […]

MONODISPERSE SUB-100 NM AU NANOSHELLS FOR LOW-FLUENCE DEEP-TISSUE PHOTOACOUSTIC IMAGING

August 4, 2023 Author(s): Luis D. B. Manuel, Vinion Devpaul Vincely, Carolyn Bayer, and Kevin M. McPeak ABSTRACT Nanoparticles with high absorption cross sections will advance therapeutic and bioimaging nanomedicine technologies. While Au nanoshells have shown great promise in nanomedicine, state-of-the-art synthesis methods result in scattering-dominant particles, mitigating their efficacy in absorption-based techniques that leverage […]

SIZE-TUNABLE ICG-BASED CONTRAST AGENT PLATFORM FOR TARGETED NEAR-INFRARED PHOTOACOUSTIC IMAGING

2022 Dec 11 Author(s): Shrishti Singh, Giovanni Giammanco, Chih-Hsiang Hu, Joshua Bush, Leandro Soto Cordova, Dylan J Lawrence, Jeffrey L Moran, Parag V Chitnis, Remi Veneziano ABSTRACT Near-infrared photoacoustic imaging (NIR-PAI) combines the advantages of optical and ultrasound imaging to provide anatomical and functional information of tissues with high resolution. Although NIR-PAI is promising, its widespread use is hindered by […]

FUNCTIONAL PHOTOACOUSTIC IMAGING FOR PLACENTAL MONITORING: A MINI REVIEW

available on 2024-09-29 Author(s): Vinoin Devpaul Vincely, Carolyn L Bayer ABSTRACT The placenta, a highly vascularized interface between the mother and fetus, undergoes dramatic anatomical and functional changes during pregnancy. These changes occur both during healthy development and adverse pathologies of pregnancy, such as preeclampsia. Abnormal placental development can lead to life-long health impacts on both the […]

SPHERICAL-VIEW PHOTOACOUSTIC TOMOGRAPHY FOR MONITORING IN VIVO PLACENTAL FUNCTION

29 September 2020 Author(s): Kristie Huda , Chengxi Wu , Jaclyn G. Sider, Carolyn L. Bayer ABSTRACT Photoacoustic tomography has great potential to image dynamic functional changes in vivo. Many tomographic systems are built with a circular view geometry, necessitating a linear translation along one axis of the subject to obtain a three-dimensional volume. In this work, we […]

WHOLE-BODY HUMAN UTLRASOUND TOMOGRAPHY

ABSTRACT We developed a system for whole-body human ultrasound tomography in reflection andtransmission modes. A custom 512-element ultrasound receiver array with a rotating single-element ultrasound transmitter are used to generate 2D isotropically resolved images across the entire human cross-section. We demonstrate this technique in regions such as the abdomen and legs in healthy volunteers. Compared […]
