Authors: Diego S. Dumani, Hans-Peter Brecht, Vassili Ivanov, Ryan Deschner, Justin T. Harris, Kimberly A. Homan, Jason R. Cook, Stanislav Y. Emelianov, Sergey A. Ermilov ABSTRACT We introduce a preclinical imaging platform – a 3D photoacoustic/fluorescence tomography (PAFT) instrument augmented with an environmentally responsive dual-contrast biocompatible nanoprobe. The PAFT instrument was designed for simultaneous acquisition […]

A PRECLINICAL SMALL ANIMAL IMAGING PLATFORM COMBINING MULTI-ANGLE PHOTOACOUSTIC AND FLUORESCENCE PROJECTIONS INTO CO-REGISTERED 3D MAPS
Authors: Weylan Thompson, Anthony Yu, Diego S. Dumani, Jason Cook, Mark A. Anastasio, Stanislav Y. Emelianov, Sergey A. Ermilov ABSTRACT We present the results on development of the 3D imaging platform combining photoacoustic tomography and fluorescence (PAFT) for preclinical and biological research. This combined multimodal imaging instrument addresses known deficiencies in sensitivity, spatial resolution, and […]
PRECLINICAL SMALL ANIMAL IMAGING PLATFORM PROVIDING CO-REGISTERED 3D MAPS OF PHOTOACOUSTIC RESPONSE AND FLUORESCENCE
Authors: Diego S. Dumani1,2, Anthony Yu1,2, Weylan Thompson3, Hans-Peter Brecht3, Vassili Ivanov3, Mark A. Anastasio4, Jason Cook5, Sergey A. Ermilov3, Stanislav Y. Emelianov1,2 ABSTRACT We report on the development of a preclinical 3D imaging platform integrating photoacoustic tomography and fluorescence (PAFT). The proposed multimodal imaging concept addresses known deficiencies in sensitivity, anatomical registration, and spatial […]
INDOCYANINE GREEN DYE BASED BIMODAL CONTRAST AGENT TESTED BY PHOTOACOUSTIC/FLUORESCENCE TOMOGRAPHY SETUP
Authors: MAKSIM D. MOKROUSOV, WEYLAN THOMPSON, SERGEY A. ERMILOV, TATIANA ABAKUMOVA, MARINA V. NOVOSELOVA, OLGA A. INOZEMTSEVA, TIMOFEI S. ZATSEPIN, VLADIMIR P. ZHAROV, EKATERINA I. GALANZHA, DMITRY A. GORIN ABSTRACT Multimodal imaging systems are in high demand for preclinical research, experimental medicine, and clinical practice. Combinations of photoacoustic technology with other modalities including fluorescence, ultrasound, […]
PHOTOACOUSTIC TOMOGRAPHY TO ASSESSACUTE VASOACTIVITY OF SYSTEMIC VASCULATURE
Author(s): Huda, Kristieª; Lawrence, Dylanª; Lindsey, Sarah; Bayer, Carolynª* ABSTRACT Vasoactivity is an important physiological indicator of cardiovascular health which is frequently measured using ex vivo vessels to determine functional mechanisms and evaluate pharmacological responses. Currently, there are no imaging methods available to assess vasoactivity in multiple vascular beds of living animals noninvasively. In this […]
DEEP LEARNING ENABLED REAL-TIME PHOTOACOUSTIC TOMOGRAPHY SYSTEM VIA SINGLE DATA ACQUISITION CHANNEL
Authors: Hengrong Lan, Daohuai Jiang, Feng Gao, Fei Gao ABSTRACT Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) combines the optical contrast of optical imaging and the penetrability of sonography. In this work, we develop a novel PACT system to provide real-time imaging, which is achieved by a 120-elements ultrasound array only using a single data acquisition (DAQ) channel. […]
PHOTOACOUSTIC IMAGING FOR IN VIVO QUANTIFICATION OF ALCOHOL-INDUCED STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL CHANGES IN CEREBRAL VASCULATURE IN HIGH ALCOHOL-PREFERRING MICE (HAP)
Authors: Augustine Meombe Mbolle, Hao Yang, Huabei Jiang* ABSTRACT Alcohol-induced structural and functional changes were studied in vivo by photoacoustic tomography (PAT) of the cerebrovascular system in selectively bred alcohol-preferring mice. High (HAP) and low (LAP) alcohol-preferring mice are replicate lines of mice selectively bred to prefer 10% (v/v) ethanol to water and water to […]
SIZE-ADJUSTABLE RING-SHAPE PHOTOACOUSTIC TOMOGRAPHY IMAGER IN VIVO
Author(s): Daohuai Jiang1,2,3, Yifei Xu1, Hengrong Lan1,2,3, Yuting Shen1, Yifan Zhang1,Feng Gao1, Li Liu4*, Fei Gao1,5* ABSTRACT Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) has become a novel biomedical imaging modality for scientific research and clinical diagnosis. It combines the advantages of spectroscopic optical absorption contrast and acoustic resolution with deep penetration. In this article, an imaging size-adjustable PAT […]
NON-INVASIVE PHOTOACOUSTIC COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY OF RAT HEART ANATOMY AND FUNCTION
Author(s): Xin Tong, Li Lin, Peng Hu, Rui Cao, Yang Zhang, Joshua Olick-Gibson, 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 optical contrast. However, PAT has not been demonstrated to […]
DEEP LEARNING ENABLED REAL-TIME PHOTOACOUSTIC TOMOGRAPHY SYSTEM VIA SINGLE DATA ACQUISITION CHANNEL
Author(s): Hengrong Lan, Daohuai Jiang, Feng Gao, Fei Gao ABSTRACT Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) combines the optical contrast of optical imaging and the penetrability of sonography. In this work, we develop a novel PACT system to provide real-time imaging, which is achieved by a 120-elements ultrasound array only using a single data acquisition (DAQ) channel. To reduce the channel number of DAQ, we superimpose 30 nearby […]
