A soft, light-filled, double-exposure image combines elements of medical science and urban architecture. In the foreground, a close-up of a microscope's objective lenses is visible on the left, bathed in a warm glow. On the right, medical items like a stethoscope, a pen, and a pair of glasses are arranged next to a clipboard with a "MEDICAL" heading and an "Rx" symbol.

iThera Medical is a leading company in the development of preclinical and clinical optoacoustic imaging. The unique capability of Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) is its combination of the high spatiotemporal resolution of ultrasound imaging with the high specificity of optical contrast. It can thereby visualize and quantify chromophore distribution, at high spatiotemporal resolution, in deep tissue.

MSOT provides the unique ability to visualize and quantify chromophore distribution, at high spatiotemporal resolution, in deep tissue. This capability is useful as a complementary diagnostic imaging tool in a wide range of diseases.
