Oxygen saturation in E14 mouse embryo and placenta

Embryo-oxyhemo-3D-med-air.jpg

In vivo 3D rendered co-registered high-resolution ultrasound (greyscale) and photoacoustic (red, white and blue) image of an E14 embryo and its associated placenta (on left). The photoacoustic signal represents a parametric map of oxygen saturation with red values representing higher sO2. The image was acquired while the mother was breathing medical air (20% O2).
