Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) to non-invasively characterise atherosclerotic plaques in vivo (Z/004/17)
Basic data for this project
Type of project: Internally at the University of Münster funded project
Duration at the University of Münster: 01/01/2017 - 31/12/2019
Description
Technological / methodological innovation: Direct visualisation of inflammatory activity in atherosclerotic lesions. After tests with various photoacoustic imaging protocols, preliminary data indicate that absolute quantification in vivo cannot be achieved with state-of-the-art PA technology using dye-based tracers. Further experiments are being conducted.
Keywords: Photoacoustic imaging; Atherosclerosis
