Healthcare professionals, in the body how blood moves and they use photoacoustic imaging systems to see if there are problems.

Researchers have now managed to miniaturize the equipment used in this method and fit it into a wristwatch and a backpack. Thanks to this tool, it becomes easier to monitor how well the heart is working.

In this way, the blood flow in our veins is immediately visible.

Photoacoustic medical imaging In these technologies, an object is first made to absorb light. This optical energy is then converted into heat and increases the temperature. Vibration waves are then converted into images thanks to thermoelastic expansion. When the differences between ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging are examined, anatomical and functional and structural images emerge.

This method normally uses the skin Goes in about 2-3 cm It may be necessary. The method is generally used to determine the oxygen level in the blood, diagnose cancer and examine blood vessels. Researchers from the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) in China have developed a new method.

With the new method, the movement of the blood in the veins can be observed via sensors mounted in a watch. However, it is also necessary to use a portable computer and a backpack. Inside laser power supply The weight of the bag containing equipment such as 7 kilograms finds it.

The system can operate under different conditions while making different gestures and movements It can work too. So it’s unlikely we’ll see the blood pumping through our veins on the Apple Watch anytime soon. Still, making it easier to operate without having to put anything in our skin is a major breakthrough and an important step for smaller devices in the future.
