- Abstract
- There has been a long-standing expectation that the optical-resolution embodiment of photoacoustic tomography could have a substantial impact on gastrointestinal endoscopy by enabling microscopic visualization of the vasculature based on the endogenous contrast mechanism. Although multiple studies have demonstrated the in vivo imaging capability of a developed imaging device over the last decade, the implementation of such an endoscopic system that can be applied immediately when necessary via the instrument channel of a video endoscope has been a challenge. In this study, we developed a 3.38-mm diameter catheter-based, integrated optical-resolution photoacoustic and ultrasonic mini-probe system and successfully demonstrated its intrainstrument channel workability for the standard 3.7-mm diameter instrument channel of a clinical video endoscope based on a swine model. Through the instrument channel, we acquired the first in vivo dual-mode photoacoustic and ultrasonic endoscopic images from the esophagogastric junction of a swine. Further, in a rat colorectum in vivo imaging experiment, we visualized hierarchically developed mesh-like capillary networks with a hole size as small as ~50 mu m, which suggests the potential level of image details that could be photo acoustically provided in clinical settings in the future.
