Abstract

This report highlights PhotoSonus M+, a tunable wavelength laser system recently introduced and developed specifically for photoacoustic imaging applications, where the highest imaging depth and resolution are required.

Highlights

  • Photoacoustic imaging is one of the fastest growing research areas of non-invasive, high-resolution, and high-contrast visualization of both superficial and deep tissues

  • The PhotoSonus M+ tunable wavelength laser system delivers more than 250 mJ at 680 nm, which is the highest pulse energy available in the market from an integrated optical parametric oscillator (OPO) system

  • The system contains a high-energy 10 Hz Q-switched laser, a parametric oscillator, power supply, and a cooling unit, all integrated into a single robust cart-type housing with customizable fiber coupled output to provide mobility, ease of use, and low maintenance cost

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Photoacoustic imaging is one of the fastest growing research areas of non-invasive, high-resolution, and high-contrast visualization of both superficial and deep tissues. This method has a number of advantages over widely used conventional research and diagnostic methods as it does not use hazardous irradiation such as x-rays and has a significantly higher imaging resolution than conventional ultrasound. Photoacoustic imaging has proven to be a very efficacious diagnostic modality of breast tumors, skin cancer, thyroid nodules, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, early diagnosis of blood vessel disorders, and much more. EKSPLA—a developer and manufacturer of reliable tunable wavelength laser systems—recently introduced the PhotoSonus M+ laser system developed for photoacoustic imaging applications requiring a high imaging depth and resolution
