Luxonus: Take 3D images without exposure: Optical ultrasound imaging
-Pulse laser light with near infrared wavelength-
Luxonus:
Safely without exposure
High resolution 3D images,
Developed an image diagnostic device that can take pictures.
We utilized optical ultrasound imaging technology that combines light and ultrasound.
Principle of drawing 3D stereoscopic images:
It irradiates the body with pulsed laser light of near infrared wavelength.
Ultrasound that produces hemoglobin in the blood
Captured by 512 ultrasonic sensors
Utilizing the principle of drawing 3D stereoscopic images.
Near-infrared wavelength pulsed laser light:
No special shooting room is required.
You can easily take a picture of “a minute blood vessel state about 3 cm deep from the body surface”.
Field of use:
Not only for clinical use
For small experimental animals,
We will also develop products for the market in the field of basic medical research.

Photoacoustic 3D Imaging: 3D-PAI
Photoacoustic imaging consists of detecting ultrasonic waves generated by laser irradiation (pulsed laser light) with an ultrasonic sensor, thereby allowing the formation of an image.
It is a noninvasive technique that allows one to map the “whole picture” of organisms as an image.
By processing a huge volume of ultrasonic signals in parallel, this technique can construct three-dimensional images in real time and provides a visualization of how they change over time.
In addition, not only can the organism be analyzed as an image, but the existence of a specific component, as well as its variations, can be determined by color differences.
With this technique, it will be possible to image fine vascular networks and the physiological properties of blood such as oxygen saturation in a noninvasive manner and without X-ray exposure.
