Photoacoustic Tomography Market Trends In 2017 – 2027

Photoacoustic tomography is a type of biomedical imaging technique which uses the combination of optical and ultrasound technology for acquiring images of biological tissues without any usage of ionizing radiation or excising tissue. Photoacoustic tomography works on the photoacoustic effect, which converts absorbed optical energy into acoustic energy. Laser beam irradiation is used in this technique to locally heat up the tissues which thus produces ultrasound signals in between due to molecular vibrations caused by transient thermal absorption. This ultrasound data is used as the input for image constructing algorithm to visualize the inner structure of the tissue. Irradiated laser light wavelength is chosen to target blood, contrast agents, or other biological materials. The technique is able to provide both structural as well as functional optical information for tissues in deep with scalable ultrasound resolution. Increasing application of this technology in pre-clinical studies as well as potential applications in disease diagnosis and monitoring is leading to prospective growth of the market. Various studies have shown the use of photoacoustic tomography imaging technique in vivo for enormous applications such as blood oxygenation mapping, tumor angiogenesis monitoring, detecting skin melanoma, functional brain imaging, methemoglobin measuring, etc.
Various research activities have been conducted over the last decade and positive results on many diseases are investigated with photoacoustic tomography imaging technique such as cancer, wound healing, disorders in the brain, among others.
Photoacoustic Tomography Market: Drivers & Restraints
Developments made by medical equipment manufacturers as well as research groups in the last few years lead to the adoption of photoacoustic tomography imaging technology in the medical sector which fuels the market growth over the forecast period. It also has technical advantages than other imaging techniques such as usage of low energy photon and ultrasound waves, higher spatial resolution, higher frame rates, and higher detection sensitivity. The photoacoustic technique also leads to a variety of exciting discoveries and applications anticipating the market growth over the years.� Certain limitations of the technique such as limited optical attenuation limits, mismatch of acoustic impedances in certain interfaces, phase distortion by ultrasound signals in thick bones along with the higher costs of equipment limits the market growth for photoacoustic tomography.
