Raster-scan optoacoustic angiography reveals 3D microcirculatory changes during cuffed occlusion

Abstract: Acoustic resolution photoacoustic microscopy at the optical wavelength of 532 nm was used to investigate the functional reaction of blood vessels of healthy human skin during cuffed venous occlusion. The high bandwidth of the polyvinilidene difluoride detector provided the opportunity for raster-scan optoacoustic angiography of both the superficial and deep plexuses at the high resolution of 35/50 microns (axial/lateral). A reversible increase of blood supply in the microcirculatory bed during occlusion was re… Show more

“…Three characteristic spectral ranges around λ 1 = 580 nm, λ 2 = 895 nm, and λ 3 = 1100 nm were revealed. The existence of three distinct spectral ranges is ascribed to two competing physical phenomena, namely, (1) Stronger absorption by blood leads to stronger OA signals; (2) Stronger light attenuation in the brain leads to limited penetration depth of the probing optical radiation and diminished OA signals. Thus, for superficial depths where light attenuation is weak the optimal probing wavelength would correspond to the maximum of the blood absorption spectra, i.e.…”

“…Thereby, OA may emerge as a powerful tool in dermatology for the assessment of a large variety of skin lesions, such as melanomas [22,152,153], psoriatic patches [23], and non-melanoma skin cancers [154], [155], [156], to name a few representative examples. High-resolution systems further enable visualizing superficial microvascular structures and analyzing microcirculatory changes [92,130,[157][158][159]. Angiographic imaging in deeper tissues may further enable assessing atherosclerotic plaques and stenosis in arteries [160], hemorrhages [161] or peripheral arterial disease [24].…”
