Use of Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography to Diagnose Vascular Malformations
Differential diagnosis of congenital vascular anomalies is challenging, and misdiagnosis is frequent. Vascular malformations are considered one of the most difficult vascular diseases to treat. A new imaging approach that visualizes anatomical features and quantitatively assesses molecular biomarkers noninvasively would aid diagnosis and monitoring of ...

VEGF-Targeted Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography and Fluorescence Molecular Imaging in Human Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaques [PDF]
Vulnerable atherosclerotic carotid plaques are prone to rupture, resulting in ischemic strokes. In contrast to radiological imaging techniques, molecular imaging techniques have the potential to assess plaque vulnerability by visualizing diseases ...

Application of multispectral optoacoustic tomography for lower limb musculoskeletal sports injuries in adults [PDF]
Compositional changes in relation to musculoskeletal injuries are difficult to measure non-invasively. This study aims to use non-invasive label-free imaging with Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) to evaluate compositional changes with injury.

Assessment of Breast Tumors Using Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography in a Surgical Setting [PDF]
In breast-conserving surgery, wire or seed localization and ultrasound are limited by lack of margin detection and contrast imaging, respectively. Handheld multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) allows for contrast imaging using endogenous or exogenous agents.

Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography Enables In Vivo Anatomical and Functional Assessment of Human Tendons [PDF]
Tendon injuries resulting from accidents and aging are increasing globally. However, key tendon functional parameters such as microvascularity and oxygen perfusion remain inaccessible via the currently available clinical diagnostic tools, resulting in ...

Unmixing Molecular Agents From Absorbing Tissue in Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography
Detection of intrinsic or extrinsically administered chromophores and photo-absorbing nanoparticles has been achieved by multi-spectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT). The detection sensitivity of MSOT depends not only on the signal to noise ratio considerations, as in conventional optoacoustic (photoacoustic) tomography implementations, but also on ...

Multispectral optoacoustic tomography of benign parotid tumors in vivo: a prospective observational pilot study [PDF]
Parotid lumps are a heterogeneous group of mainly benign but also malignant tumors. Preoperative imaging does not allow a differentiation between tumor types. Multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) may improve the preoperative diagnostics.

A sparse deep learning approach for automatic segmentation of human vasculature in multispectral optoacoustic tomography [PDF]
Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) resolves oxy- (HbO2) and deoxy-hemoglobin (Hb) to perform vascular imaging. MSOT suffers from gradual signal attenuation with depth due to light-tissue interactions: an effect that hinders the precise manual ...
