• Resumen

  • Photoacoustic imaging based on laser pulses is a promising method for clinical detection of vulnerable arterial plaque that is a potential trigger for cardiac infarction. With a custom-designed combination of pulse laser and OPO (optical parametric oscillator), Elforlight and AMS Technologies contribute to substantial acceleration of this imaging method’s intravascular application
