Baseline
The project starts with the current iThera MSOT (Multi-Spectral Optoacoustic Tomography) system (‘Acuity’), which is typically used for clinical research. A proof-of-concept study at University Hospital Erlangen in 2016 showed that the technology is very promising, and triggered the decision to commence this EUPHORIA project.

Project Plan
To improve and take the Acuity system into routine clinical use, the following work is required:

End Point
By the end of the project, we will have a ready-for-clinic technology, fully tested and validated in the clinic, with clear evidence of cost-effectiveness and business cases to support sales.
Ultimate Aim
To establish MSOT as a routine clinical imaging tool, like X-Ray or MRI.
