COMPANY HISTORY

TomoWave Laboratories, Inc. was founded in 2010 by Dr. Alexander A. Oraevsky, the father of biomedical optoacoustic imaging in the world. It is the pioneer of biomedical optoacoustic imaging technology in the world. Focusing on oncology and biology, our laboratory is committed to the development and transformation of high-resolution, high-contrast, and high-sensitivity 3D optoacoustic tomography (OAT),Diagnosis and treatment and hemoglobin applications mediated by new functional nanomaterials as an integrated diagnosis and treatment platform play a leading role. Over 10 years of experience in pioneering research in the field of optoacoustic imaging, sensing and monitoring. 

TomoWave Suzhou was founded in November 2020, with the participation of Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute and Taicang Biomedical Industrial Park and Taicang Innovation Investment and Development Co., LTD. It is an important part of the province's scientific research innovation system. It is committed to transforming the preclinical animal optoacoustic imaging system and clinical breast cancer optoacoustic diagnosis system in China. TomoWave system has been installed at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, Washington University in St. Louis, the University of Texas At SAN Antonio Health Science Center, the University of Houston, Guangxi University, Qingdao University, etc.

Optoacoustic imaging is an emerging noninvasive hybrid imaging technology that combines optical excitation and ultrasonic detection. During the imaging process, the optoacoustic contrast agent absorbs a non-ionizing pulse laser and converts it into heat, which generates sound waves through thermoelastic expansion. These sound waves are detected using broadband ultrasonic transducers and optoacoustic images can be constructed according to the arrival time of the sound waves. Compared with photons, phonons scatter less in biological tissues, so optoacoustic imaging has the advantages of high tissue contrast, high spatial resolution and deep imaging. Compared with traditional near infrared region I (NIR- I,600-900 nm) optoacoustic imaging, the near infrared region II (NIR- II, 900-1700 nm) optoacoustic imaging showed higher penetration and lower tissue absorption and scattering.
