Hadatomo™ (Photoacoustic Microscope)

WEL5100 - Advantest Corp.

Evaluations of treatments for blood circulation disorders, as well as regenerative medicine therapies, currently rely on biopsies and animal experiments, but these methods have well-noted shortcomings. Advantest's new Hadatomo™ photoacoustic microscope addresses these drawbacks, offering researchers an unprecedented non-invasive process for analyzing blood vessels within the dermis. Utilizing a new imaging method that combines optical technology and ultrasound, the Hadatomo™ provides high-contrast images of blood vessels without the use of contrast agents. This new imaging technology is poised to contribute to further advances in regenerative medicine, dermatology, and plastic surgery.
