Scientists in California have created a new way to see inside the body by combining ultrasound with a light-based technique called photoacoustic imaging. The result produces fast 3D images that show both the shape of soft tissues and how blood is flowing. It has already been tested on human heads, breasts and limbs, and could help doctors spot tumours, track nerve damage from diabetes and study the brain — without radiation or injected dyes. Caltech

Bringing Optical Color to Ultrasound

By combining two imaging techniques, Lihong Wang and his colleagues have developed a tool that can image blood vessels, in color, while still being able to clearly detect tissue morphology

@adapalmer A #PhD f(r)iend of mine is working in PAI also! Fun stuff...
