Abstract

All-Optical Ultrasound (OpUS) has emerged as an imaging paradigm well-suited for minimally invasive procedures. In particular, OpUS has demonstrated potential in endovascular imaging due to its high degree of miniaturization and mechanical flexibility, high imaging resolution and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Here, we present the first human thrombus imaging using an OpUS device, which was performed on an extracted clot. The results demonstrate the feasibility of using OpUS for thrombus imaging, with the ultimate goal of guiding minimally invasive endovascular clot retrieval procedures.
