Most research and clinical imaging methods require ionizing radiation or are dependent on specialized probes and tracers. Ultrasound and optical systems have limited resolution, whereas CT, PET and MRI are expensive and require specialized facilities and probes.  Endra, Inc. has developed and commercialized a preclinical scanner using photo-acoustic imaging - where pulsed light creates detectable sound waves - providing high-contrast images at depth and spatial resolution far exceeding existing techniques - and without ionizing radiation.
