i-Thera Medical MSOT inVision 512-Echo scanner
The MSOT inVision 512-Echo scanner (Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography scanner from i-Thera Medical) provides in-vivo, full-body, 3D anatomical, functional and molecular imaging capabilities for pre-clinical rodent models. It integrates both ultrasound imaging (which provides anatomical or structural information) with optoacoustic/photoacoustic imaging (which provides functional and molecular information) within one scanner. It provides depth-resolved optical contrast of deeper tissue structures. Some examples include (i) label-free imaging of tissue vasculature and oxygen saturation from of tumors and other structures such as brain and kidneys of rodents
