Optoacoustic imaging of muscle degeneration in late-onset Pompe Disease
Dr. med. Ferdinand Knieling from the University Hospital Erlangen presents his group’s groundbreaking pilot study, published in Nature Communications. In this session, Dr. Knieling explores the role of biomarkers in assessing muscle degeneration in Pompe disease and demonstrates the potential of iThera’s optoacoustic imaging technology as a clinical diagnostic tool for neuromuscular diseases. The session features an in-depth discussion of the study results, followed by an engaging Q&A session.
Fast optoacoustic mesoscopy enables assessment of human melanoma microvasculature in vivo
Dr. Hailong He, Group leader at Technical University of Munich, presents his work on fast high-resolution optoacoustic imaging in human melanoma. He shows how 3D imaging of vascular characteristics in skin lesions could allow diagnostic insights not available by conventional visual inspection.
