Optoacoustic Sensor Promises More Reliable Cardiological Diagnostics

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
HANNOVER, Germany, April 14, 2016 — A technique based on optical interferometry could enable ultrasonic methods to be used internally to gather information about the heart tissue. Until now ultrasonic methods have only been used externally, because the piezo electronical components necessary for internal use have not been sufficiently miniaturized to be inserted into the blood vessels. A group of researchers at the Laser Zentrum Hannover eV (LZH) and the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology are working on an optoacoustical sensor for medical ultrasonic technology that could enable intravascular exams. The technology,...Read full article
