  • While X-rays can produce harmful radiation, a new technique using laser-induced sound waves provides highly detailed images of the structures in our bodies.

    Photoacoustic imaging is an emerging imaging technique that shoots micro-pulses of laser light at a specimen or body part, which selectively heats up parts of the tissue causing them to expand, and generate waves of pressure -- a.k.a. sound waves.
    Ultrasonic sensors are situated to capture these microscopic changes, and a processing software then reconstructs the image based on what the sensors “hear.” The speed of the laser can be adjusted depending on what type of tissue one would like to visualize.
    The photoacoustic imaging technique is beginning to take off in both the medical and scientific worlds, as it provides us with super clear, incredibly detailed images of the human body and the structures inside it.
    Not to mention, the imaging technique causes no discomfort and there is no dangerous ionizing radiation involved, making it a desirable alternative to more traditional imaging, like a CT scan, ultrasound, or a PET scan.
    Not only can this new imaging technology be used to image tissues at extremely high resolution, you can also introduce a foreign material, like a contrast dye or a specially designed nanoparticle, to see things you might not be able to otherwise.
    Although the technique has been around for more than a century, photoacoustic imaging is just starting to be clinically explored as an alternative and prototype clinical machinery is in development.
    Learn more about this revolutionary imaging technique on this episode of Elements.

    Photoacoustic Imaging
    www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
    "Possessing many attractive characteristics such as the use of non-ionizing electromagnetic waves, good resolution/contrast, portable instrumention, as well as the ability to quantitate the signal to a certain extent, photoacoustic techniques have been applied for the imaging of cancer, wound healing, disorders in the brain, gene expression, among others."

    www.ft.com/content/c023c7a2-f...
    "Photoacoustic imaging delivers exquisitely detailed images of biological tissue purely by listening to the sound that light makes. Ultrashort pulses of laser light of a few billionths of a second are directed at the tissue and selectively absorbed, depending on the colour of different constituents of the tissue."
    The Eclectic History of Medical Imaging
    www.itnonline.com/article/ecl...
    "In the 1940s and early 1950s, shoe salesmen flipped a switch and shoppers could see their toes wiggling on fluoroscopes. At their height, some 10,000 of these devices were in use at shoe stores across the United States. X-rays, emitted by a tube mounted near the floor, penetrated the shoes and feet, then struck a fluorescent screen on the other side."

      AvangionQ we have a lot of cool technology today, and this does seem like brand-new cutting edge tech, however I would caution you not take everything on this channel at face value. I have stopped watching Seeker a while ago because a lot of their videos have clickbait titles where they bullshit about the science and make it seem like a major breakthrough, when in reality it isn’t. I think they had a video talking about the effects of particles under observation, and they completely misinformed the viewer with their “explanation”, choosing to omit the fact the equipment used to observe the particles actually interferes with them, and making it seem as if they were somehow sentient. They do all they can to maximise the amount of views they get, which is a shame because a lot of the stuff they talk about is really interesting, however they inflate, exaggerate, and twist it to make it seem more than it actually is, if you get what I mean.

    • @texasdragon1
      @texasdragon1 Před 4 lety

      Just to play devil's advocate here, but it is this very thing that drives innovation and research and is why it will be widespread in the US compared to other places around the world. The truth is you won't see it widespread in places like Canida or the UK because of the minimal and limited care. On a similar note I understand why some Americans might like the idea of a socialized government-operated healthcare system but why on earth would a Canadian ever want America to go that route. What would Canadians do when they need rapid high-quality care, they can't get it in their own country. Obviously, if you have the sniffles in Canada their healthcare system is amazing but if you have anything even kinda serious then you can't deny that universal healthcare systems just can't handle it on any large population scale and is why so many people have to travel to America to get treatment. The US healthcare system is constantly being bombarded by people from other countries needing medical treatment they can not get in their own country and that includes Canida and the UK. Why do you think that is? It not because the American healthcare system is perfect, it's absolutely horrible in some areas and has major room for improvement. But at the end of the day, it allows for competition and monetary gain that drives cutting edge research and innovation. Whereas socialized medicine has shown to be a dagger in the heart of innovation. The healthcare field in many of these countries has gone stagnant, Canida had to learn the hard way with an influx of patient deaths before they gave their people a private option. I think they call them super hospitals, where as America just calls them hospitals.

Now we could, and we could be saving people thousands of dollars in wasted hospital visits. This is just thinking about something simple like fractures. Imagine this as a diagnostic tool to rule out pulmonary embolism are being able to get exact information about a myocardial infarction. Something like this in the field could save lives.

      @@Pyriphlegeton ever heard of superresolution microscopy? They had the same problem of how they were going to separate different fluorescent signals and solved it with a wandering laser illumination that scans the surface of your sample not all at once, but one piece at a time, allowing - together with photoquenching - for more detailed scans before the fluorophores got bleached.
      The same could be applied here, having a rapid succession of scans with different wavelengths of laser light to image multiple organ systems practically at once. We're only limited by the speed of sound and computer power, so I guess you could image all relevant tissues in an area in almost-realtime, with no major downsides in quality exept that the picture only refreshes every 0.05-0.1 seconds...
