Abstract
There is a strong need for non-invasive detection of normal tissue from diseased one and a better understanding of the factors involved in the infection’s growth. Continuous monitoring of tissue samples at different time points is highly desirable. We demonstrate using the photoacoustic spectral response technique (PASR) for in situ analysis in a developing chicken embryo as a model (CAM) for anti-angiogenesis and vascular development. The photoacoustic technique is an emerging modality that is based on the acoustic detection of optical absorption of biological samples. The detected PA signals and their spectral response were used as a signature to determine the vasculature development pathology. Continuous monitoring of vascular growth and an anti-drug (Cisplatin) effect on vasculature has been done. PASR was investigated for the 10th day, 11th day, and 12th day control and inoculated egg samples. It shows that the dominant frequency of the PA spectral response for 10th day control and inoculated eggs lies between 0.45–0.52 MHz, whereas for 11th day and 12th day control eggs lie at 0.61 ± 0.152 MHz and 0.67 ± 0.001 MHz, respectively. The inoculated 11th and 12th day eggs lie at 0.35 ± 0.156 MHz and 0.16 ± 0.004 MHz, respectively. PASR could monitor the change in growth within a span of one day, which was not possible through the conventional imaging approach. This would open up a potential diagnostic technique for continuous monitoring of CAM assays.
