Article Abstract
Examining the dynamics of an agent in the tumor microenvironment can offer critical insights to the influx rate and accumulation of the agent. Intratumoral kinetic characterization in the setting can further elicudate distribution patterns and tumor microenvironment. Dynamic contrast-enhanced Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomographic imaging (DCE-MSOT) acquires serial MSOT images with the administration of an exogenous contrast agent over time. We tracked the dynamics of a tumor-targeted contrast agent, HypoxiSense 680 (HS680), in breast xenograft mouse models using MSOT. Arterial input function (AIF) approach with MSOT imaging allowed for tracking HS680 dynamics within the mouse. The optoacoustic signal for HS680 was quantified using the ROI function in the ViewMSOT software. A two-compartment pharmacokinetics (PK) model constructed in MATLAB to fit rate parameters. The contrast influx (k) and outflux (k) rate constants predicted are k = 1.96 × 10 s and k = 9.5 × 10 s (R = 0.9945).

Purpose: A hypoxic tumor microenvironment promotes cancer progression, with endothelin-A receptor (ETR) signaling playing a key role in tumor neoangiogenesis and macrophage infiltration. We hypothesize that multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) using an ETR-specific probe could provide improved insights into the hypoxic characteristics of the tumor microenvironment (TME), either alone or in combination with endogenous markers, and that alterations in ETR expression may correlate with increased tumor oxygenation serving as an early indicator of response to anti-angiogenic or immune-modulating therapy.
Methods: A fluorescent ETR probe was applied for in vivo MSOT evaluation of ETR expression in hypoxic murine breast cancer.
Water, Collagen, and Lipid Content in the Human Skin and Muscles Assessed with Near-Infrared Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy and Multi-Spectral Optoacoustic Tomography.

Infrared spectroscopy can quantify individual body components such as lipids, water, and proteins, but extending it to a comprehensive assessment of overall body composition is hampered by high variability and optical heterogeneity of biological tissues. Here, a theoretical and experimental strategy merging multi-spectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) is introduced to characterize skin and subcutaneous tissue composition in the near-infrared range. Water, lipids, and collagen exhibit distinct absorption peaks, with lipids demonstrating significantly higher absorption than collagen at comparable mass concentrations.

Objectives: This proof-of-concept study aimed to assess the feasibility of Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) in evaluating changes in oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO2) levels in muscles of the lower limb before and after lower extremity revascularization (LER).
Methods: In 26 patients, HbO2 levels were assessed before and after LER, with follow-up assessing symptom control and patency for up to six months.
Results: A significant difference in HbO2 levels was observed between pre- and post-LER in the muscles of the lower limb.

Background: Multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) merges optical and ultrasound imaging to generate high-resolution, molecularly specific images. By capturing ultrasound emissions at multiple wavelengths, MSOT enables real-time visualization of tissue slices or volumes. The technique's specificity relies on chromophores emitting distinct signals across different wavelengths, requiring accurate spectral unmixing.

This study initiates the development of Ru1, a metalloantibiotic derived from p-cymene, which delivers dual functionality. Our approach begins with the design and synthesis of half-sandwich ruthenium complexes, Ru1-Ru11. By varying the structure of the ancillary ligand, the biological activities of eleven ruthenium complexes against five bacterial strains were explored.
