The Vevo LAZR system incorporates photoacoustic imaging into high-resolution ultrasound. The ultrasound imaging provides a high-resolution frame-of-reference for identifying anatomy, while the photoacoustic imaging enables functional measurements such as oxygen saturation, total hemoglobin and the microdistribution of biomarkers.
Now with a new Vevo LAZR-X this imaging becomes much more powerful - with touch screen interface for enhanced workflow, new laser technology for faster and more sensitive iamge acquisition at a wider wavelength range and many accessories software tools for a variety of applications.
