Microscopic heart vessels imaged in super-resolution for first time at Imperial | Imperial News


A new imaging technique tested on patients could improve the evaluation of cardiac conditions and undiagnosed chest pain.

Researchers from Imperial College London’s Department of Bioengineering and Faculty of Medicine worked alongside academics from UCL to produce sub-millimetre resolution images of cardiac micro-vessels. For example, clinicians could use the technique to visualise structural abnormalities in patients with microvascular coronary disease and cardiomyopathies, making it easier to diagnose and treat, thus improving health outcomes. Professor Tang is also exploring the potential use of super-resolution ultrasound technologies for evaluating a range of other diseases, working with oncologists, cardiologists, radiologists, breast surgeons and other clinicians.
