Feasibility of photoacoustic/ultrasound imaging of synovitis in finger joints using a point-of-care system

Feasibility of photoacoustic/ultrasound imaging of synovitis in finger joints using a point-of-care system

We evaluate a portable ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging (PAI) system for the feasibility of a point-of-care assessment of clinically evident synovitis. Inflamed and non-inflamed proximal interphalangeal joints of 10 patients were examined and compared with joints from 7 healthy volunteers. PAI s...
