New Imaging Technique Targets Cholesterol in Arterial Plaque

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
BELLINGHAM, Wash., and CARDIFF, Wales — Researchers from the University of Toronto (U of T) have developed a cholesterol-detection imaging technique using laser photoacoustics and continuous wave lasers to allow for more timely treatment of atherosclerosis. "This new modality can detect true cholesterol signals in plaques," Andreas Mandelis told Photonics Media. Mandelis is professor of mechanical and industrial engineering and electrical and computer engineering at the U of T, and one of the authors of an article describing the method. Mandelis and colleagues have demonstrated a detection technique that combines laser...Read full article
