Thermal intravascular photoacoustic imaging
Intravascular photoacoustics (IVPA)-a minimally invasive imaging technique with contrast related to optical absorption properties of tissue, can be used to visualize atherosclerotic plaques. However, the amplitude of photoacoustic signals is also related to a temperature dependent, tissue specific parameter-the Grüneisen parameter.

Pheochromocytoma – clinical manifestations, diagnosis and current perioperative management [PDF]
Pheochromocytoma is a neuroendocrine tumor characterized by the excessive production of catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine). The diagnosis is suspected due to hypertensive paroxysms, associated with vegetative phenomena, due to the
