MSOT in lower extremity revascularization (LER)
Dr. med. Tim Wittig and Birte Winther present the results of a clinical study conducted at Leipzig University Hospital in the field of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). This study evaluates the use of MSOT to assess changes in muscle perfusion following endovascular revascularization in PAD patients. Their findings highlight the potential of MSOT as a valuable tool for monitoring microvascular perfusion and thereby treatment efficacy of revascularization. The session offers a deep dive into the study design and results, followed by a Q&A discussion to facilitate professional discourse.
Gaining New Insights into PAD and Diabetes Using Optoacoustic Imaging in Clinical Research
Dr. Angelos Karlas (University Hospital rechts der Isar, Technical University Munich) and Dr. Ulrich Rother (University Hospital Erlangen) present their respective work on non-invasive optoacoustic imaging biomarkers for intermittent claudication and the correlation of microangiopathy phenotypes with diabetes stage.
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.
Photoacoustic Tomography Detects Response and Resistance to Bevacizumab in Breast Cancer Mouse Models
Dr. Isabel Quiros Gonzalez, Head of the Histopathology Core at the University of Oviedo and previously with Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute, outlines her work using MSOT (multispectral optoacoustic tomography) to assess response to a vascular-disruptive treatment in a preclinical breast cancer model.
