Photoacoustic Remote Sensing (PARS) Microscopy for Pre-clinical and Clinical Applications

EF 2018-19 · 2018-12-01

Résumé
There is a desperate need for a fast, non-contact, non-invasive, safe and accurate technique that can measure oxygen saturation, oxygen metabolic activity, and multilayered histology-like information. Quickly acquiring in-situ microscope images of disease morphology and oxygen metabolic activity can play a vital role in understanding, and better treating, several diseases including cancers and vision loss. To achieve this, Histological and Functional Photoacoustic Remote Sensing (HF-PARS) microscopy is being developed to provide a quick, easy-to-use, reliable, and high resolution non-contact photo-acoustic based microscopy. This can easily be incorporated into current patient care and improve diagnosis and treatment these diseases.

Description
There is a desperate need for a fast, non-contact, non-invasive, safe and accurate technique that can measure oxygen saturation, oxygen metabolic activity, and multilayered histology-like information. Quickly acquiring in-situ microscope images of disease morphology and oxygen metabolic activity can play a vital role in understanding, and better treating, several diseases including cancers and vision loss.

Description (French)
Il existe un besoin urgent d'une technique rapide, sans contact, non invasive, sécuritaire et précise permettant de mesurer la saturation en oxygène, l'activité métabolique de l'oxygène et des informations de type histologie multicouches. L'obtention rapide d'images au microscope in situ de la morphologie de la maladie et de l'activité métabolique de l'oxygène peut jouer un rôle vital dans la compréhension et le traitement de plusieurs maladies, notamment les cancers et la perte de vision. Pour y parvenir, la microscopie à télédétection photoacoustique histologique et fonctionnelle « Histological and Functional Photoacoustic Remote Sensing (HF-PARS) » est en cours de développement afin de fournir une microscopie photoacoustique sans contact rapide, facile à utiliser, fiable et haute résolution. Cela peut facilement être intégré aux soins actuels et améliorer le diagnostic et le traitement de ces maladies.
