Join Dr. Alexander A. Oraevsky, a scientist and pioneer in the field of biomedical optoacoustics, for a research lecture on "Laser Optoacoustic Ultrasonic Imaging System and Biomedical Applications," on Wednesday, August 7 at 2:00 pm in Lecture Theatre A, AVC. Dr. Oraevsky will discuss the principles of operation, methods of signal processing and image reconstruction, advantages, limitations and biomedical applications of a recently developed, combined laser optoacoustic ultrasonic imaging system (LOUIS). The idea of combining the optoacoustic and laser ultrasonic tomography in one modality for the purposes of co-registration of functional and anatomical images drives present developments in the field of optoacoustic imaging. Optoacoustic images can provide natural and useful enhancement of almost every application of medical ultrasound. Deep tissue imaging with high contrast and resolution is the most important niche for optoacoustic tomography, unattainable neither in pure optical imaging or pure ultrasonic imaging. Dr. Oraevsky presently leads TomoWave Labs as Chief Technology Officer holds an adjunct professor position at the Biomedical Engineering Department of the University of Houston. Dr. Oraevsky is the recipient of multiple research awards advancing biomedical applications of optoacoustic imaging, sensing and monitoring. Alexander is the primary inventor of 17 patents, has published five book chapters and over 200 scientific papers dealing with novel laser technologies applicable in biology and medicine.
