Ultrasound-coupling holder design for optoacoustic tomography applications
Optoacoustic tomography is a novel technique that can be used to image small animals for preclinical research and patients for clinical research. Water coupling between ultrasound detectors and inspected tissue is required for propagation of ultrasonic waves. An easy-to-use design is required.
Keywords: Optoacoustic (Photoacoustic) tomography, CAD, 3D printing, Mechanical prototyping.
Optoacoustic tomography is a novel imaging technique that can be used for preclinical and clinical research. A short laser pulse is delivered into the tissue to generate ultrasound waves upon light absorption. To detect the ultrasound waves outside of the tissue, a volume of ultrasound coupling medium (preferably water) is essential. We need an engaged student to develop a practical, waterproof, and easy to use ultrasound-coupling holder using CAD and 3D printing tools to build prototypes. If required, other manufacturing techniques such as mold casting or advanced additive manufacturing techniques could be used to build the final version of the holder.
