Tumor Vascular Assessment using Contrast and Photoacoustics
This recent study by Bar-Zion et al. in the prominent journal, Cancer Research, highlights the significance and validity of contrast-enhanced ultrasound and photoacoustics (PA) to assess vascularity in tumors and to monitor efficacy of treatment dynamically over time. Both vascular morphology and functional perfusion and oxygenation were assessed and validated with histology.

VEVO TIPS & TRICKS
Animal Physiology is Important for Data Standardization 
This issue's Tip has been shared by Application Specialist Magdalena.
Magdalena writes: Frequently I get the question on how to ensure reproducibility in cardiac or contrast imaging. Hypothermia is known to negatively affect the quality of cardiac and contrast reproducibility. The key is monitoring of physiology .

- Introduce a flexible, application-specific light delivery system
- New accessories and software tools for applications such as molecular imaging, neurobiology and cardiology
- Learn what high-resolution ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging can do for your research!
SPECIAL FEATURE
SHANNON'S JOURNEY BEGINS!
Shannon Rooney is the Human Factors Specialist at our Toronto office at FUJIFILM VisualSonics. This September, she will ride 2800 km across Canada from Vancouver all the way to Halifax over 18 days to raise money to fight kids' cancer. Shannon's training is complete after riding 4344 km over the last 4 months. On Wednesday Sept 7, she will depart from Vancouver to start making her way across Canada, riding 2900 km (1800 miles) over 18 days. She is thrilled to announce that she has been able to reach her fundraising goal of $20,000, thanks in large part to donations made by staff at VisualSonics and support from FUJIFILM America! We will be sharing Shannon's Journey on social media but you can also follow her on:
