Sentences with phrase «of photoacoustic imaging»

The next step, he added, is to prove the applicability of photoacoustic imaging in tumor models and ultimately in patients.

By processing all of the photoacoustic imaging data with computer programs, scientists obtain a 2 - D en - face photoacoustic image called a depth maximum amplitude projection (DMAP) image, which shows the optical absorption distribution or photoacoustic contrast of the sample.

«Our ultimate goal is to develop an endoscopic photoacoustic imaging probe scanning the cervical canal, which would be a quicker, cheaper and non-invasive method for the diagnosis of cervical cancer,» Xiao said.

Now a team of researchers from Central South University in China have demonstrated that a technique known as photoacoustic imaging, which is already under investigation for detecting skin or breast cancers and for monitoring therapy, also has the potential to be a new, faster, cheaper and non-invasive method to detect, diagnose and stage cervical cancer with high accuracy.

According to Xiao, photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a hybrid optical imaging technique that combines the high optical contrast of pure optical imaging with the high spatial resolution and the deep imaging depth of ultrasound.
