SHARED STORY
Photoacoustic Imaging of Placental Oxygenation
Submitted by Dr. Carolyn Bayer, Tulane University, New Orleans, LA, USA

There is an urgent need to identify first trimester pregnancies at risk for the development of preeclampsia—a leading cause of maternal and perinatal mortality—in order to improve clinical treatment of the disease. Our research laboratory is developing ultrasound-guided spectral photoacoustic imaging of placental ischemia in vivo.

FEATURED IMAGE
Embryo oxyhemo 3D

In vivo 3D rendered coregistered high-resolution ultrasound (greyscale) and photoacoustic (red, white and blue) image of a mid-gestational fetus and its associated placenta. The photoacoustic signal represents a parametric map of oxygen saturation with red values representing higher sO2.

VEVO TIPS & TRICKS
Image Optimization using Bubble-free Gel

This issue's Tip has been shared by Application Scientist Kelly. Many parameters can be adjusted on the Vevo LAZR and LAZR-X systems to optimize your image (i.e. gain, persistence, TGC sliders, and more), but one of the most important optimization parameters isn’t a button at all, it’s gel.
