Photoacoustics is a pioneering, real-time imaging modality for visualizing small animal anatomy and analyzing functions in vivo in a non-invasive manner. This technology is the future of preclinical imaging in real-time. Designed for the unique needs for small animal researchers, new state of the art technology for in vivo imaging, Veva Photoacoustic Imaging non-invasively registers high-resolution ultrasound and high sensitivity optical information in real-time. This easy-to-use platform allows unequaled functional and anatomical imaging in living animals.
Contrast Imaging:
Contrasting imaging in vivo involves nanoparticles and dyes, which are commercially available, offer the potential for proteins, receptors, and cells to be targeted and studied. Cellular and molecular processes can be imaged and studied with ease in real-time by combining them to such targets as receptors, antibodies, or ligands, and imaging at the appropriate wavelength. Photoacoustic imaging in vivo offers the freedom to use multiple different absorbing dyes and nanoparticles together and simultaneously in the same animal through multi-spectral analysis. Contrast applications are used for Biomarker Studies, Molecular Imaging, Sentinel Lymph Node Detection, and Cellular Specificity.
Nanotechnology:
Nanotechnology refers to manufactured particles and materials smaller than 100 nanometers in size. Nano-scale materials are designed to interact precisely and efficiently with biological materials as they have the ability to enter most cells, often without eliciting any immune response. Their small size gives them the ability to enter areas of the body that are difficult to access using current technologies such as the brain and individual cells.
The ability to measure and detect anatomical, physiological & functional processes of brain hemodynamics in the central nervous system of small animals holds important implications for neuroscience research, especially in studies of stroke and Alzheimer's disease. Photoacoustic Imaging in the brain involves high-resolution images derived with a Photoacoustic Imaging System allowing neurobiologists to readily and reliably study subcortical brain structure and real-time function in vivo and non-invasively, in 2D & 3D.
Cancer Research:
With photoacoustic and contrast imaging systems, the possibilities for in vivo tumor studies are numerous and include: molecular imaging applications that include measure intracellular biomarkers, high specificity molecular targeting studies, and nanoparticle-enhanced detection, and study multiple contrast agents simultaneously. As well, identification of tumor phenotype and state, investigation of vascular structure in 2D and 3D, quantification of hypoxia via oxygen saturation , and evaluation of tumor metastasis and cancer staging.
Vevo Photoacoutsic Imaging System Features:
Features of the innovative and high tech Photoacoutsic Imaging System include: detection and quantification of hypoxia and oxygen saturation, cellular and molecular imaging with nanoparticles, and inherent photoacoustic and ultrasound signal co-registration. As well, Photoacoutsic Imaging System offers a unique research tool optimized for morphological, molecular and functional studies in small animal models of diabetes, stroke, and cancer.
Photoacoustics is a ground-breaking, real-time imaging modality for visualizing small animal anatomy and analyzing functions in vivo and in a non-invasive manner. It is the future of preclinical imaging in real-time. Veva Photoacoustic and Contrast Imaging Systems is ground breaking technology that will move medical research to a new level of achievement.
