EUPHORIA Coordinator iThera Medical is hosting a webinar on June 25th. The topic: Multi-Scale Clinical Optoacoustic Skin Imaging. Dr Dinish U. S and Dr Chris Ho of the Singapore Bioimaging Consortium (SBIC) will present on the use of Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) to study morphological and functional changes associated with skin cancers in 2D and [...]
Both optoacoustic and optical imaging are biophotonic imaging technologies. While optoacoustic imaging yields information about light absorption from both endogenous tissue chromophores and optical contrast agents, optical imaging only provides information from extrinsically administered agents by means of light emission (fluorescence or bioluminescence). In terms of performance, optical imaging can serve as an easy-to-use screening [...]
