The scientists investigated the application and imaging features obtained by non-invasive and handheld optoacoustic imaging of the thyroid in-vivo. They developed a compact handheld version of real-time multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT). The results were contrasted to ultrasound and Doppler ultrasound images obtained from the same volunteers. Imaging findings demonstrate the overall MSOT utility to accurately retrieve optical features consistent with the thyroid anatomy and the morphology of surrounding structures.
