On the possibility of using optoacoustic methods for studying the properties of biological tissues (review)
Incoming article date: 20.07.2019The optoacoustic effect used for imaging can provide improved spatial resolution and temperature sensitivity compared to other methods of non-invasive cytometry, thermometry, used during thermal therapy for safe and effective diagnosis. However, the accuracy of the described optoacoustic methods is reduced due to biological variability and heterogeneous composition of tissues. Optoacoustic spectral analysis is used to assess the morphological changes of red blood cells (for example, size / shape).
