DERMAGIO
Photoacoustic subcutaneous microvascular imaging device
DERMAGIO derived from DERMAtological anGIOgraphy is a diagnostic medical-purpose imaging device visualizing tiny microvessels under the human skin using cutting-edge ultrasound and photoacoustic microscopic imaging techniques. DERMAGIO offers volumetric visual representation of microvasculature under the skin and separates those microvessels to anatomical layers such as epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, aiding dermatological diagnosis, observation of treatment efficacy, and so on.
DERMAGIO is a standalone imaging device with all subparts built as one unit. It contains a high-speed laser source & precision optical components and a computer with ultrasound signal capture board and image processing unit. It supports the connection of a compact grabbable probe using an optical fiber and a customized multi-purpose cable.
DERMAGIO’s probe adopts high-tech photoacoustic techniques, transparent ultrasound sensor and high-speed photoacoustic scanner with MEMS technology. The transparent ultrasound sensor enables optical and acoustic beams to be coaxial, achieving high signal-to-noise ratio and high contrast images, and the high-speed scanner steers both optical and acoustic beams by swing customized 2-axis mirror operated by electromagnets. In addition, it includes a convenient button and an on-screen image display.
