Seeing the Sound of Light
illumiSonics develops, patents and commercializes PARS® advanced optical imaging systems for a wide range of pre-clinical and clinical applications. Our proprietary PARS® photoacoustic remote sensing technology is a revolution in optical imaging. Like traditional photoacoustic imaging, PARS® measures optical absorption and is capable of providing functional and molecular imaging of anything that can absorb light. Traditional photoacoustic imaging has been constrained by the need to have contact with targeted tissues, the size of transducers and an inability to easily integrate with other optical imaging techniques. PARS® is the first fully optical, non-contact photoacoustic imaging technology. This allows PARS® to maintain all of the advantages of photoacoustic imaging while addressing its short comings which provides incredible flexibility in how it can be deployed. illumiSonics works with market leading partners to develop systems for specific applications.
