Multispectral optoacoustic tomography of myocardial infarction

Highlights ► Multispectral optoacoustics enables in vivo preclinical imaging of heart infarct. ► The spatial resolution is superior to previous deep-tissue optical techniques. ► Molecular contrast is provided by an exogenous inflammation-targeted agent. ► Endogenous contrast provides an anatomical reference for the molecular signal.
