Respiratory motion in living organisms is known to result image blurring and loss of resolution, chiefly due the lengthy acquisition times corresponding methods. Optoacoustic tomography can effectively eliminate vivo artifacts its inherent capacity for collecting data from entire imaged region following a single nanoseconds-duration laser pulse. However, multi-frame analysis often essential applications relying on spectroscopic or scanning-based systems. Thereby, efficient methods correct...

Abstract Tracking of biodynamics across entire living organisms is essential for understanding complex biology and disease progression. The presently available small‐animal functional molecular imaging modalities remain constrained by factors including long image acquisition times, low spatial resolution, limited penetration or poor contrast. Here flash scanning volumetric optoacoustic tomography (fSVOT), a new approach high‐speed fast kinetics biodistribution optical contrast agents in...

Adequate capillary blood flow is a critical parameter for tissue vitality. We present novel non-invasive method measuring based on the acousto-optic effect, using ultrasound modulated diffused light. The benefits of presented are: deep sampling (> 1cm), continuous real time measurement, simplicity apparatus and ease operation. demonstrate ability to measure scattering fluid calibrated phantom model. Fluid was generated by syringe pump phantom's sampled volume contained millimeter size...

We demonstrate the ability of a novel device employing ultrasound modulation near infrared light (referred as "Ultrasound tagged light" or UTL) to perform non-invasive monitoring blood flow in microvascular level tissue. Monitoring microcirculatory is critical clinical situations affecting different organs, such brain limbs. . However, currently there are no devices that measure deep tissue continuously. Our prototype (Ornim Medical, Israel) was used monitor on anesthetized swine during...

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used chemotherapeutic anticancer drug. Its intrinsic fluorescence properties enable investigation of tumor response, drug distribution and metabolism. First phantom studies in vitro showed optoacoustic property DOX. We therefore aimed to further investigate the DOX biological tissue order explore its potential as theranostic agent. analysed doxorubicin hydrochloride (Dox·HCl) liposomal encapsulated (Dox·Lipo), two common drugs for anti-cancer treatment clinical...

The International Photoacoustic Standardisation Consortium (IPASC) emerged from SPIE 2018, established to drive consensus on photoacoustic system testing. As imaging (PAI) matures research laboratories into clinical trials, it is essential establish best-practice guidelines for image acquisition, analysis and reporting, a standardised approach technical validation. primary goal of the IPASC create widely accepted phantoms testing preclinical PAI systems. To achieve this, has formed five...

Visualizing whole-body dynamics across entire living organisms is crucial for understanding complex biology, disease progression as well evaluating efficacy of new drugs and therapies. Existing small animal functional molecular imaging modalities either suffer from low spatial temporal resolution, limited penetration depth or poor contrast. In this work, we present flash scanning volumetric optoacoustic tomography (fSVOT) system that enables the acquisition speeds required visualizing fast...
