By combining 4D ultrasound imaging and photoacoustic tomography, our recently published multimodality approach demonstrates the potential to better assess atherosclerosis progression.
Recently published work in APL Bioengineering describes our dual-modality photoacoustic tomography (PAT) and 4D ultrasound (4DUS) imaging approach that has shown promise for cardiovascular applications. This study used PAT and 4DUS to correlate altered arterial strain and hemodynamics to morphological changes and lipid localization in a murine partial carotid ligation (PCL) model of atherosclerosis.
