Ischemia induction in the mouse brain
Live ultrasound (left) and photoacoustic (right) coronal section of a mouse brain during ligation of the right common carotid artery. The red, white and blue color represents a parametric map of oxygen saturation clearly showing the drop in sO2 in the right hemisphere upon ligation.

Oxygen saturation in the myocardium

High-resolution ultrasound (greyscale) and photoacoustic (red, white and blue) image of a long axis view of the left ventricle of the mouse heart. The photoacoustic image is a parametric map of oxygen saturation in the myocardium.

Mouse abdominal organs

Mouse abdomen showing kidney and spleen

High-resolution ultrasound (greyscale) and photoacoustic (red and white) cross-sectional image of the mouse abdomen showing vasculature in the kidney and spleen.

Mouse abdomen

3D rendered high-resolution ultrasound (grey) and photoacoustic (red) image of the whole mouse abdomen showing highly absorbing gut contents overlaid with anatomy as visualized with ultrasound.

Photoacoustic image of mouse spleen and kidney

3D rendered photoacoustic image of the mouse kidney and spleen.

Mouse hindlimb showing blood and ICG

3D rendered high-resolution ultrasound (greyscale) and spectrally unmixed photoacoustic (red, blue and green) image of the mouse hindlbimb. The green color indicates ICG dye in the popliteal lymph node after a hindpaw injection, the red color indicated oxygenated hemoglobin and the blue color indicates deoxygenated hemoglobin.

Mouse hindlimb with ICG in lymph node

3D rendered high-resolution ultrasound (greyscale) and spectrally unmixed photoacoustic (green) image of the mouse hindlbimb. The green color indicates ICG dye in the popliteal lymph node after a hindpaw injection.

Vasculature and gut in the mouse abdomen

3D rendered photoacoustic (red) and ultrasound (greyscale) image of the mouse abdomen. Vasculature and gut contents can be seen in the photoacoustic image and are overlaid on the anatomical ultrasound image.

Mouse ear vasculature

3D rendering of a photoacoustic parametric map of oxygen saturation in the mouse ear. Red pixels indicate higher sO2 values.
