Real-time optoacoustic monitoring and three-dimensional mapping of a human arm vasculature.
We present our findings from a real-time laser optoacoustic imaging system (LOIS). The system utilizes a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser; a standard 128-channel ultrasonic linear array probe; custom electronics and custom software to collect, process, and display optoacoustic (OA) images at 10 Hz. We propose that this system be used during preoperative mapping of forearm vessels for hemodialysis treatment. To demonstrate the real-time imaging capabilities of the system, we show OA images of forearm vessels in a volunteer and compare our results to ultrasound images of the same region. Our OA images show blood vessels in high contrast. Manipulations with the probe enable us to locate and track arteries and veins of a forearm in real time. We also demonstrate the ability to combine a series of OA image slices into a volume for spatial representation of the vascular network. Finally, we use frame-by-frame analysis of the recorded OA video to measure dynamic changes of the crossection of the ulnar artery.
