Near-infrared (NIR) light absorbing theranostic agents can integrate optoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy for effective personalized precision medicine. However, most of these agents face the challenges of unstable ...

In this dissertation, methods for the calibration of optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems and for the simulation of optoacoustic signals are presented. The key question here is whether a multimodal system consisting ...

Many optical modalities are being investigated, applied, and further developed for non-invasive analysis and sensing in the life sciences. Often, the combination of two or more modalities is required for in depth analysis ...

In this article, we present a simple and intuitive approach to create a handheld optoacoustic setup for near field measurements. A single piezoelectric transducer glued in between two sheets of polymethyl methacrylate ...
