Photoacoustic Imaging Improves Diagnostic Accuracy of Cancerous Ovarian Lesions
Posted Today Engineer Zhu leads the group in designing a method that may prevent unnecessary surgery for cancerous ovarian lesions. Ovarian cancer is the deadliest cancer of the female reproductive system, and there is no screening test that can help with early detection. Ultrasound imaging, the standard of care used to determine whether lesions are cancerous...

Ultrafast photoacoustic imaging provides new insights into brain function
By Paul McClure February 14, 2023 Ultrafast functional photoacoustic microscopy (UFF-PAM) has been used in mice to capture real-time, high-speed images of the brain Zhu et al (CC by 4.0) Scientists at Duke University have developed an ultrafast photoacoustic imaging system capable of capturing the functional and molecular changes that occur in major brain disorders....
