  • Introduction

    iThera Medical offers the only optoacoustic imaging system with real-time whole-body imaging capability. This powerful tool for preclinical small animal imaging introduces a new standard into preclinical research.
    Biological processes and the effect of pharmacological substances can be observed in vivo, in deep tissue, in real time, and in high resolution.

    Endogenous chromophores, as well as extrinsically administered probes, can be differentiated from tissue background by tuning the excitation laser wavelength, collecting the optoacoustic signal acquired at multiple wavelengths and performing spectral unmixing.

    Description

    MSOT is widely used in preclinical imaging. However, its precision (repeatability and reproducibility) had yet to be determined. In a recent study performed using an MSOT inVision 256-TF at the University of Cambridge, measurements in stable phantoms were used to independently assess the impact of system variables on precision (using coefficient of variation, COV), including acquisition wavelength, rotational position, and frame averaging
