The effectiveness of an imaging technique is often based on the ability to image quantitatively both morphological and physiological functions of the tissue. Here we present several ultrasound-based imaging techniques capable of visualizing both structural and functional properties of living tissue. Each imaging system utilizes custom-made, targeted nanoparticles developed to probe specific molecular...
Diagnostic ultrasound imaging can be used to acquire multidimensional datasets of the presence of specific molecules playing a role in disease progression. This imaging technique relies on the sensitive detection of targeted ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) which consist of encapsulated gas bubbles with several micrometers diameter and functionalized surfaces. They can be detected by their nonlinear...
Optoacoustic imaging is a new promising medical imaging modality combining the benefits of optical and acoustical methods. The strong scattering behaviour of biological media limits the imaging depth of pure optical modalities like OCT (optical coherence tomography). On the other hand, the field of applications of ultrasound is sometimes limited by the lack of contrast in acoustical impedance between...
Medical imaging, navigation, and robotics are technical solutions which can be used to solve clinical problems. They can be used for personalizing the treatment, for accurate targeting, for increasing therapeutic effectiveness, and for decreasing procedure time. A main driver for the increased usage of these technologies is the trend to minimally invasive procedures. In the last two decades, there...
