Photoacoustic Tomography System: MSOT inVision 512

What is it?
Photoacoustic imaging device for preclinical applications and clinical application with custom designed handheld probes

Manufacturer: iThera Medical

Model Name: invision 512 Echo

Applications: preclinical applications and clinical applications (skin and breast imaging)

Instrument Overview: The MSOT inVision is a powerful optoacoustic imaging system for small animal imaging. It acquires cross-sectional images, with high resolution, in vivo and in real time. The unique capability of the MSOT inVision to visualize and quantify optoacoustic contrast throughout the whole animal, from head to tail, makes it a very attractive choice for many scientists. Optionally, ultrasound computed tomography can add further insights. With customized 2D or 3D handheld probes, it is used in clinics to image skin and breast cancer specimen.

Technical features and specifications:
The MSOT inVision features 360˚ ring illumination and 270˚ acoustic detection. This wide coverage angle is the basis for the full cross-sectional views of small animals and the unmatched tomographic image quality. The MSOT inVision comes with a custom-design station for animal preparation. Key elements are an injection pad and an animal holder that allows repeatable positioning and anesthesia supply. Following the positioning of the animal, the animal holder is inserted into the imaging chamber of the MSOT inVision. The software then facilitates fully automated image acquisition.Coupled with unique features like a seamless 660-1,300 nm wavelength range and calibrated signal quantification, the inVision users will allow researchers to drive their applications into areas previously not possible.
