Photo acoustic imaging

“Researchers from Pohang University of Science and Technology in South Korea have developed a new photoacoustic imaging system that can visualize microvasculature without a contrast agent. The new system is 500 times faster than conventional photoacoustic imaging, and features a spatial resolution enhanced by 2.5 times. This system can one day help improve detection and therapy for strokes and heart attacks by imaging vasculature and identifying clotted or burst vessels.”    MORE
