For a normal layman, the terms of involved in photo acoustic imaging in Neurobiology would be foreign and strange. However, this has become a common application used in specialized fields of study in neurobiological investigations during preclinical phase. The revolutionary process of photo acoustic imaging utilizes innovative technology to enhance anatomical images of animals that would; otherwise, be too small for conventional tools.
The scientific approach is non-evasive and involves simple procedures to generate high-resolution images of small living animals through the use of techniques in ultrasound and photosensitive optics. It has been essential in obtaining critical information about certain medical conditions that might pose as biological threats; specifically, those that directly affect the nervous system and the processes of the brain that encompass the functional, physiological, and anatomical.
Photo Finish - The advancements made manifest in Photo acoustic imaging to benefit the purposes of neurobiology has made a substantial impact in developmental research and medicine. It is a vital tool to safely penetrate the internal structure of animals; providing clear and accurate data to measure levels of operations. This has been a much-needed technique that facilitates a greater propensity to perform procedures for certain injections and extractions.
Photo acoustic imaging acts as a guide in detecting potential hazards and by providing clarity and precision to a wide range of methods of examination. Other applications of this unique method in photoacoustic imaging technology is in exploring the neural progressive of the brain; from embryonic, to the neonatal stage of development, allowing a visual of blood flow that takes place in the cerebrum. The process has been instrumental in determining degenerative diseases and similar conditions that have a potential to carry over to human hosts. Certainly, it is continuing to impact the world as an important contribution to neurobiological studies and the advancement of medicine; brining about new perspectives and opening possibilities.
