Video rate optoacoustic tomography of mouse kidney perfusion.
Optoacoustic tomography can visualize optical contrast in tissues while capitalizing on the advantages of ultrasound, such as high spatial resolution and fast imaging capabilities. We report a novel multispectral optoacoustic tomography system for deep tissue small animal imaging. The previously undocumented capacity of whole-body optoacoustic tomography at a video rate has been demonstrated by visualizing mouse kidney perfusion using Indocyanine Green in vivo.
