Detection of lipid in atherosclerotic vessels using ultrasound-guided spectroscopic intravascular photoacoustic imaging
Lipid is a common constituent in atherosclerotic plaques. The location and area of the lipid region is closely related to the progression of the disease. Intravascular photoacoustic (IVPA) imaging, a minimally invasive imaging modality, can spatially resolve the optical absorption property of arterial tissue. Based on the distinct optical absorption spectrum of fat in the near infrared waveleng...
متن کاملSpectroscopic intravascular photoacoustic imaging of lipids in atherosclerosis.
The natural history of atherosclerosis is marked by changes in the lipid biochemistry in the diseased arterial wall. As lesions become more vulnerable, different cholesterol species accumulate in the plaque. Understanding unstable atherosclerosis as a pharmacological and interventional therapeutic target requires chemically specific imaging of disease foci. In this study, we aim to image athero...
متن کاملIntegrated ultrasound and photoacoustic probe for co-registered intravascular imaging.
We report on the synergy of an integrated ultrasound (US) and photoacoustic (PA) probe system for intravascular imaging. The combined dual-modality probe is based on a 39 MHz ring-shaped US transducer which detects both US echoes and laser-generated PA signals. By combining optical fiber, US transducer, and micromirror, we can obtain intravascular cross-sectional B-scan images by internal illum...
متن کاملThermal intravascular photoacoustic imaging
Intravascular photoacoustics (IVPA)-a minimally invasive imaging technique with contrast related to optical absorption properties of tissue, can be used to visualize atherosclerotic plaques. However, the amplitude of photoacoustic signals is also related to a temperature dependent, tissue specific parameter-the Grüneisen parameter. Therefore, photoacoustic signals measured at different temperat...
متن کاملIntegrated intravascular ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging scan head.
The combination of intravascular ultrasound and intravascular photoacoustic imaging has been proposed for improving the diagnosis of arterial diseases. We describe a novel scan-head design for implementing such multimodality imaging. The proposed device has the potential to achieve a sufficiently small size for clinical intravascular applications. The design aims for efficient image data acquis...
