NCIt synonyms : Functional Photoacoustic Tomography; fPAT; Multi-spectral Optoacoustic Tomography; MSOT;
NCIt definition : An imaging technology that generates high-resolution optical images in scattering
media, including biological tissues. MSOT illuminates tissue with nanosecond laser
pulses in the near-infrared (NIR) range; the tissue absorbs the light pulses and undergoes
thermo-elastic expansion. This expansion gives rise to ultrasound waves that are detected
and formed into an image.;
