Project description
Core and disruptive photonic technologies
Fully integrated real time multi-wavelength photoacoustics for early disease detection.
The objective of FULLPHASE is the transition of Photo-Acoustic (PA) imaging from a lab-based technique to a low-cost portable multi-wavelength combined PA and Ultra-Sound (US) system. In order to reach that goal, the FULLPHASE partners offer specific expertise over complementary backgrounds in diode laser technology, laser beam shaping, ultrasound imaging technology, and system integration. The impact of the FULLPHASE system will be shown in oncology, rheumatology and cardio vascular disease.
FULLPHASE will integrate different scientific and technological expertise, for point-of-care early diagnosis, by means of specific knowledge, which will be directed towards:
- Multi-wavelength diode laser beam sources with very high pulse powers.
- Highly efficient diode laser driver.
- Multi-wavelength diffractive optical beam shaping.
- Optimal light delivery.
- PA imaging depth of a few centimetres.
- Advanced beam forming and temporal resolution.
- Quantitative functional and structural imaging.
- In-vitro and ex-vivo verification.
- Preclinical validation.
