VISTA-LYMPH: Visual Imaging System for Tracing and Analyzing Lymphatics with Photoacoustics
William Marsh Rice University in Houston, Texas, seeks to create a non-invasive photoacoustic imaging system with advanced near-infrared molecular probes and highly sensitive biomarker measurements to dramatically improve diagnosis and monitoring of rare and complex lymphatic diseases, so patients who have long struggled to get a clear diagnosis can be identified and followed more accurately, reducing the risk of sudden, life-altering complications.
