— The invention is a novel photoacoustic imaging technique, termed reversibly switchable photoacoustic tomography (RS-PAT). It exhibits a large penetration depth, a high detection sensitivity, and a spatial super-resolution. The most important feature of this technique is that it significantly incre…

— Lihong Wang, Professor at Washington University in St. Louis, is a pioneer in the field of Photoacoustic (PA) Imaging. His innovations have enabled non-invasive imaging of living organisms at scales ranging from subcellular to whole-body at depths and resolutions that are simply impossible with any …

— In clinical practice, high imaging speed is critical to reduce motion artifacts, cost, and patient discomfort. Researchers at Washington University have developed multi-focal optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (MFOR-PAM) capable of high-resolution imaging of hemoglobin concentration and oxy…

— Photon tunneling has the potential to guide light to the core of a human body in vivo. Imaging, sensing, and therapy are among the applications for this technology. Light, as opposed to potentially harmful x-rays, is an ideal non-ionizing radiation for imaging and treating biological tissue, however…

— Existing high-resolution human brain imaging modalities such as X-ray computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are expensive and employ bulky and generally non-portable imaging equipment. Moreover, X-ray CT is unsafe for patients who need long time monitoring of brain diseases …
