Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) leads to chronic vascular occlusion and results in end organ damage critically perfused limbs. There are currently no clinical methods available determine the muscular induced by mal-perfusion. This monocentric prospective cross-sectional study investigated n = 193 adults, healthy severe PAD, order quantify degree of calf muscle degeneration caused PAD using a non-invasive hybrid ultrasound single wavelength optoacoustic imaging (US/SWL-OAI) approach. While US provides morphologic information, SWL-OAI visualizes absorption pulsed laser light resulting sound waves from molecules undergoing thermoelastic expansion. US/SWL-OAI was compared multispectral data, severity, angiographic findings, phantom experiments, histological examinations biopsies. We were able show that synergistic use is most likely map progressive PAD.

Abstract Background Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) affects more than 200 million people worldwide, with symptoms ranging from none to severe. Despite these different diagnostic options, patients unclear leg pain remain challenging diagnose. The primary objective of this study was evaluate whether multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) can discriminate between healthy volunteers (HV) and intermittent claudication (IC) by assessing hemoglobin-related biomarkers in calf muscle tissue. Method In monocentric, cross-sectional, observational trial (NCT05373927) n = 102 were included two independent derivation (DC, 51) validation cohorts (VC, 51). MSOT performed before after standardized heel raise provocation compared PAD diagnostics including pulse palpation, ankle brachial index (ABI), duplex sonography, 6-minute walk test (6MWT), assessment health-related quality life (VASCUQOL-6), angiography (aggregated TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus classification, aTASC). Results Here we show that is capable differentiating IC HV an area under the receiver operator characteristics curve (AUROC) DC 0.99 (sensitivity: 100%, specificity: 95.8%) VC 0.95 96.2%, 96.0%). MSOT-derived oxygenation positively correlates ABI post-exercise (R 0.83, P 2.31 × 10 −26 ), absolute walking distance 6MWT 0.77, 3.40 −21 VASCUQOL-6 0.79, 4.82 −23 ) negatively aTASC classification -0.80, 2.92 −24 ). Conclusions Post-exercise saturation validated as a non-invasive imaging biomarker distinguish yielding high sensitivity specificity.

Three-dimensional (3D) photoacoustic imaging (PAI) with detector arrays has shown superior capabilities in biomedical applications. However, the quality of 3D PAI is often degraded due to reconstruction artifacts caused by sparse detectors. Existing iterative or deep learning-based methods are either time-consuming require large training datasets, limiting their practical application. Here, we propose Zero-Shot Artifact2Artifact (ZS-A2A), a zero-shot self-supervised artifact removal method based on super-lightweight network, which leverages fact that patterns more sensitive sensor data loss. By randomly dropping acquired PA data, it spontaneously generates subset reconstruct images, turn stimulates network learn results, thus enabling removal. This approach requires neither nor prior knowledge artifacts, making suitable for arbitrary array configurations. We validated ZS-A2A both simulation study and invivo animal experiments. Results demonstrate achieves high performance compared existing methods.

Mesoscopic photoacoustic imaging (PAI) enables label-free visualization of vascular networks in tissues with high contrast and resolution. Segmenting these from 3D PAI data interpreting their physiological pathological significance is crucial yet challenging due to the time-consuming error-prone nature current methods. Deep learning offers a potential solution; however, supervised analysis frameworks typically require human-annotated ground-truth labels. To address this, an unsupervised image-to-image translation deep model introduced, Vessel Segmentation Generative Adversarial Network (VAN-GAN). VAN-GAN integrates synthetic blood vessel that closely resemble real-life anatomy into its training process learns replicate underlying physics system order learn how segment vasculature images. Applied diverse range silico, vitro, vivo data, including patient-derived breast cancer xenograft models clinical angiograms, demonstrates capability facilitate accurate unbiased segmentation networks. By leveraging reduces reliance on manual labeling, thus lowering barrier entry for high-quality (F1 score: vs. U-Net = 0.84 0.87) enhancing preclinical research structure function.

MSOT compared with magnetic resonance (MRI), ultrasound, spirometry, testing quality life scores. Next, results validated an independent LOPD patient cohort from second site. Our study demonstrates enables subcellular pathology increases glycogen/water, collagen lipid signals, providing higher sensitivity detecting degeneration than current methods. This translational approach suggests implementation complex care these patients.
