When it is desired to fix the nozzle 18 in a desired translatable position, the clamps 78 are tightened to effect the proper seal of gasket 84 with the mounting plate 50 in the proper position. A scale may also be provided along the edge of the mounting plate 50 and/or the channel 80...
In yet another aspect, there is provided a medical instrument configured for use with a robotic system, the medical instrument comprising: an elongate shaft configured to be inserted into an anatomy of a patient; a pull wire coupled to the elongate member; a robotic interface coupled to the pu...
ICG can be used to visualize probe extravasation in real-time using PA imaging57; this study suggests that it may also be possible to encapsulate a therapeutic agent in PAtrace and use PA imaging to track its delivery to the desired ROI58 or to monitor the agent extravasating in real-time...
clinically translatable PA contrast agents should provide high contrast at depth after spectral unmixing from background hemoglobin, maintain molecular specificity to cellular targets, afford sufficient stability during imaging, and have a composition amenable to translation (i.e., biocompatible and scalable...
