CO-REGISTERED PHOTOACOUSTIC AND FLUORESCENT IMAGING OF A SWITCHABLE NANOPROBE BASED ON J-AGGREGATES OF INDOCYANINE GREEN

Authors: Diego S. Dumani, Hans-Peter Brecht, Vassili Ivanov, Ryan Deschner, Justin T. Harris, Kimberly A. Homan, Jason R. Cook, Stanislav Y. Emelianov, Sergey A. Ermilov ABSTRACT We introduce a preclinical imaging platform – a 3D photoacoustic/fluorescence tomography (PAFT) instrument augmented with an environmentally responsive dual-contrast biocompatible nanoprobe. The PAFT instrument was designed for simultaneous acquisition […]

A PRECLINICAL SMALL ANIMAL IMAGING PLATFORM COMBINING MULTI-ANGLE PHOTOACOUSTIC AND FLUORESCENCE PROJECTIONS INTO CO-REGISTERED 3D MAPS

Authors: Weylan Thompson, Anthony Yu, Diego S. Dumani, Jason Cook, Mark A. Anastasio, Stanislav Y. Emelianov, Sergey A. Ermilov ABSTRACT We present the results on development of the 3D imaging platform combining photoacoustic tomography and fluorescence (PAFT) for preclinical and biological research. This combined multimodal imaging instrument addresses known deficiencies in sensitivity, spatial resolution, and […]

PHOTOACOUSTIC TOMOGRAPHY TO ASSESSACUTE VASOACTIVITY OF SYSTEMIC VASCULATURE

Author(s): Huda, Kristieª; Lawrence, Dylanª; Lindsey, Sarah; Bayer, Carolynª* ABSTRACT Vasoactivity is an important physiological indicator of cardiovascular health which is frequently measured using ex vivo vessels to determine functional mechanisms and evaluate pharmacological responses. Currently, there are no imaging methods available to assess vasoactivity in multiple vascular beds of living animals noninvasively. In this […]

PHOTOACOUSTIC IMAGING FOR IN VIVO QUANTIFICATION OF ALCOHOL-INDUCED STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL CHANGES IN CEREBRAL VASCULATURE IN HIGH ALCOHOL-PREFERRING MICE (HAP)

Authors: Augustine Meombe Mbolle, Hao Yang, Huabei Jiang* ABSTRACT Alcohol-induced structural and functional changes were studied in vivo by photoacoustic tomography (PAT) of the cerebrovascular system in selectively bred alcohol-preferring mice. High (HAP) and low (LAP) alcohol-preferring mice are replicate lines of mice selectively bred to prefer 10% (v/v) ethanol to water and water to […]

SIZE-ADJUSTABLE RING-SHAPE PHOTOACOUSTIC TOMOGRAPHY IMAGER IN VIVO

Author(s): Daohuai Jiang1,2,3, Yifei Xu1, Hengrong Lan1,2,3, Yuting Shen1, Yifan Zhang1,Feng Gao1, Li Liu4*,  Fei Gao1,5* ABSTRACT Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) has become a novel biomedical imaging modality for scientific research and clinical diagnosis. It combines the advantages of spectroscopic optical absorption contrast and acoustic resolution with deep penetration. In this article, an imaging size-adjustable PAT […]

NON-INVASIVE PHOTOACOUSTIC COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY OF RAT HEART ANATOMY AND FUNCTION

Author(s): Li Lin, Xin Tong, Susana Cavallero, Yide Zhang, Shuai Na, Rui Cao, Tzung K. Hsiai, and Lihong V. Wang ABSTRACT Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) combines optical contrast with acoustic-resolution imaging, but non-invasive cardiac imaging with this technique has been limited by signal loss and distortion caused by the chest wall. This work presents a […]

DEEP LEARNING ENABLED REAL-TIME PHOTOACOUSTIC TOMOGRAPHY SYSTEM VIA SINGLE DATA ACQUISITION CHANNEL

Author(s): Hengrong Lan, Daohuai Jiang, Feng Gao, Fei Gao Fig. 1. The overview of the proposed single-channel PACT system. PC: personal computer. Pre-amp: Pre-amplifier. ABSTRACT Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) combines the optical contrast of optical imaging and the penetrability of sonography. In this work, we develop a novel PACT system to provide real-time imaging, which is achieved by a 120-elements ultrasound array only using a single data […]
