Toward in vivo dosimetry in external beam radiotherapy using x-ray acoustic computed tomography: A soft-tissue phantom study validation

Author(s): Hao Lei, Wei Zhang, Ibrahim Oraiqat, Zhipeng Liu, Jun Ni, Xueding Wang, Issam El Naqa Abstract Purpose: To study, using phantoms made from biological tissues, the feasibility and practical challenges of monitoring the position of the radiation beam and the deposited dose by x-ray acoustic computed tomography (XACT) during external beam radiotherapy delivery. Material and methods: A prototype XACT system […]

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 […]

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 […]

Tissue Engineering & Regeneration

What is Tissue Engineering & Regeneration? Tissue engineering is the process of creating new tissues and organs to replace damaged or diseased tissues. Photoacoustic tomography can be used to evaluate tissue regeneration and vascularization. PhotoSound Product Used TriTom Photoacoustic Image-Guided Delivery of Plasmonic-Nanoparticle-Labeled Mesenchymal Stem Cells to the Spinal Cord MoleculUS A Combined Ultrasound and […]

Neuroimaging

What is Neuroimaging? Neuroimaging is the use of medical imaging techniques to study the structure and function of the nervous system, focusing on the brain. Photoacoustic tomography has been used to image the brain, spinal cord, and other parts of the nervous system. PhotoSound Product Used TriTom Monitoring Neonatal Brain Hemorrhage Progression by Photoacoustic Tomography […]

Anatomical Imaging

What is anatomical imaging? Anatomical imaging is used to visualize the structure and organization of tissues and organs within the body. Photoacoustic tomography generates high-resolution images of blood-rich tissues without the need for exogenous contrast agents. PhotoSound Product Used TriTom Dual-Scan Photoacoustic Tomography for the Imaging of Vascular Structure on Foot Photoacoustic tomography to assess […]

Contrast Agent Development

What is Contrast Agent Development? Photoacoustic contrast agents, such as indocyanine green (ICG), are used to enhance the visibility of specific targets within a subject and targeting to investigate specific molecular markers. PhotoSound Product Used TriTom In situ x-ray-induced acoustic computed tomography with a contrast agent: a proof of concept Biodegradable and biocompatible semiconductor nanocrystals […]
