Enhanced Imaging Using Vibrational Photoacoustic Tomography Improves Diagnosis of Atherosclerosis

Summary

Researchers from Purdue University have developed a photoacoustic probe that allows for improved imaging of tissue. This technology has the ability to rapidly, non-invasively, and cost effectively locate and quantify plaque composition in vivo. VPAT has the potential to be used in the clinic to study atherosclerosis plaque development, evaluate the effectiveness of prospective therapeutics, and improve the diagnosis of atherosclerosis or related vascular diseases.

Technology Benefits

Disease tracking Does not require contrast agents Rapid in vivo imaging capabilities Potential for 3D imaging Estimated cost is lower than conventional imaging techniques
