Authors: Maeva Delcroix, Dr. Anil Reddy Marri, Stéphane Parant, Dr. Philippe C. Gros, Dr. Mathilde Bouché ABSTRACT Significant effort focused on developing photoactivatable theranostics for localized image guided therapy of cancer by thermal ablation. In this context iron complexes were recently identified as photoactivatable theranostic agents with adequate biocompatibility and body clearance. Herein, a series of FeII complexes bearing polypyridine […]

Model-Based 3-D X-Ray Induced Acoustic Computerized Tomography
Authors: Prabodh Kumar Pandey; Siqi Wang; Leshan Sun; Lei Xing; Liangzhong Xiang ABSTRACT X-ray-induced acoustic (XA) computerized tomography (XACT) is an evolving imaging technique that aims to reconstruct the X-ray energy deposition from XA measurements. Main challenges in XACT are the poor signal-to-noise ratio and limited field-of-view, which cause artifacts in the images. We demonstrate the efficacy of model-based […]
Discrete Wavelet Transformation for the Sensitive Detection of Ultrashort Radiation Pulse with Radiation-Induced Acoustics
Authors: Rick Van Bergen, Leshan Sun, Prabodh Kumar Pandey, Siqi Wang, Kristina Bjegovic, Gilberto Gonzalez, Yong Chen, Richard Lopata, Liangzhong Xiang ABSTRACT Radiation-induced acoustics (RIA) shows promise in advancing radiological imaging and radiotherapy dosimetry methods. However, RIA signals often require extensive averaging to achieve reasonable signal-to-noise ratios, which increases patient radiation exposure and limits real-time […]
MONODISPERSE SUB-100 NM AU NANOSHELLS FOR LOW-FLUENCE DEEP-TISSUE PHOTOACOUSTIC IMAGING
August 4, 2023 Author(s): Luis D. B. Manuel, Vinion Devpaul Vincely, Carolyn Bayer, and Kevin M. McPeak ABSTRACT Nanoparticles with high absorption cross sections will advance therapeutic and bioimaging nanomedicine technologies. While Au nanoshells have shown great promise in nanomedicine, state-of-the-art synthesis methods result in scattering-dominant particles, mitigating their efficacy in absorption-based techniques that leverage […]
SIZE-TUNABLE ICG-BASED CONTRAST AGENT PLATFORM FOR TARGETED NEAR-INFRARED PHOTOACOUSTIC IMAGING
2022 Dec 11 Author(s): Shrishti Singh, Giovanni Giammanco, Chih-Hsiang Hu, Joshua Bush, Leandro Soto Cordova, Dylan J Lawrence, Jeffrey L Moran, Parag V Chitnis, Remi Veneziano ABSTRACT Near-infrared photoacoustic imaging (NIR-PAI) combines the advantages of optical and ultrasound imaging to provide anatomical and functional information of tissues with high resolution. Although NIR-PAI is promising, its widespread use is hindered by […]
FUNCTIONAL PHOTOACOUSTIC IMAGING FOR PLACENTAL MONITORING: A MINI REVIEW
available on 2024-09-29 Author(s): Vinoin Devpaul Vincely, Carolyn L Bayer ABSTRACT The placenta, a highly vascularized interface between the mother and fetus, undergoes dramatic anatomical and functional changes during pregnancy. These changes occur both during healthy development and adverse pathologies of pregnancy, such as preeclampsia. Abnormal placental development can lead to life-long health impacts on both the […]
SPHERICAL-VIEW PHOTOACOUSTIC TOMOGRAPHY FOR MONITORING IN VIVO PLACENTAL FUNCTION
29 September 2020 Author(s): Kristie Huda , Chengxi Wu , Jaclyn G. Sider, Carolyn L. Bayer ABSTRACT Photoacoustic tomography has great potential to image dynamic functional changes in vivo. Many tomographic systems are built with a circular view geometry, necessitating a linear translation along one axis of the subject to obtain a three-dimensional volume. In this work, we […]
NON-INVASIVE 3D PHOTOACOUSTIC TOMOGRAPHY OF ANGIOGRAPHIC ANATOMY AND HEMODYNAMICS OF FATTY LIVERS IN RATS
17 November 2022 Author(s): Xin Tong, Li Lin, Peng Hu, Rui Cao, Yang Zhang, Joshua Olick-Gibson,and Lihong V. Wang ABSTRACT Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common liver disorder worldwide, which strongly correlates to obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndromes. Complementary to mainstream liver diagnostic modalities, photoacoustic tomography (PAT) can provide high-speed images with functional […]
WHOLE-BODY HUMAN UTLRASOUND TOMOGRAPHY
ABSTRACT We developed a system for whole-body human ultrasound tomography in reflection andtransmission modes. A custom 512-element ultrasound receiver array with a rotating single-element ultrasound transmitter are used to generate 2D isotropically resolved images across the entire human cross-section. We demonstrate this technique in regions such as the abdomen and legs in healthy volunteers. Compared […]
A COMBINED ULTRASOUND AND PHOTOACOUSTIC IMAGING PLATFORM FOR CLINICAL RESEARCH APPLICATIONS
3 March 2022 Author(s): Weylan Thompson, Hans-Peter Brecht, Sergey A. Ermilov, Vassili Ivanov ABSTRACT We present the continued development of a clinical ultrasound (US) imaging device with a photoacoustic (PA) mode. The combined USPA imaging platform is designed around a compact US component capable of B-mode, M-mode, color Doppler, and pulsed wave Doppler US imaging modes with a […]
