Optoacoustic Imaging in Inflammation. [PDF]
Biomedicines, 2021 Optoacoustic or photoacoustic imaging (OAI/PAI) is a technology which enables non-invasive visualization of laser-illuminated tissue by the detection of acoustic signals. The combination of “light in” and “sound out” offers unprecedented scalability with a high penetration depth and resolution.
