SIZE-TUNABLE ICG-BASED CONTRAST AGENT PLATFORM FOR TARGETED NEAR-INFRARED PHOTOACOUSTIC IMAGING

2022 Dec 11 Author(s): Shrishti Singh, Giovanni Giammanco, Chih-Hsiang Hu, Joshua Bush, Leandro Soto Cordova, Dylan J Lawrence, Jeffrey L Moran, Parag V Chitnis, Remi Veneziano ABSTRACT Near-infrared photoacoustic imaging (NIR-PAI) combines the advantages of optical and ultrasound imaging to provide anatomical and functional information of tissues with high resolution. Although NIR-PAI is promising, its widespread use is hindered by […]

Contrast Agent Development

What is Contrast Agent Development? Photoacoustic contrast agents, such as indocyanine green (ICG), are used to enhance the visibility of specific targets within a subject and targeting to investigate specific molecular markers. PhotoSound Product Used TriTom In situ x-ray-induced acoustic computed tomography with a contrast agent: a proof of concept Biodegradable and biocompatible semiconductor nanocrystals […]
