Melanin-Based Contrast Agents for Biomedical Optoacoustic Imaging and Theranostic Applications
Optoacoustic imaging emerged in early 1990s as a new biomedical imaging technology that generates images by illuminating tissues with short laser pulses and detecting resulting ultrasound waves. This technique takes advantage of the spectroscopic approach to molecular imaging, and delivers high-reso...
