PHOTOACOUSTIC IMAGE-GUIDED DELIVERY OF PLASMONIC-NANOPARTICLE-LABELED MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS TO THE SPINAL CORD
Authors: Eleanor M. Donnelly, Kelsey P. Kubelick, Diego S. Dumani, and Stanislav Y. Emelianov ABSTRACT Regenerative therapies using stem cells have great potential for treating neurodegenerative diseases and traumatic injuries in the spinal cord. In spite of significant research efforts, many therapies fail at the clinical phase. As stem cell technologies advance toward clinical use, […]

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 […]
IN SITU X-RAY-INDUCED ACOUSTIC COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY WITH A CONTRAST AGENT: A PROOF OF CONCEPT
Authors: Seongwook Choi,1; Sinyoung Park,1; Ayoung Pyo,2; Dong-Yeon Kim,3 ; Jung-Joon Min,4 ; Changho Lee,4,5,6; Chulhong Kim,1,7 ABSTRACT X-ray-induced acoustic computed tomography (XACT) has shown great potential as a hybrid imaging modality for real-time non-invasive x-ray dosimetry and low-dose three- dimensional (3D) imaging. While promising, one drawback of the XACT system is the underlying low signal-to-noise ratio […]
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 […]
