See through the skin: New technology spots early heart disease warning signs

Researchers from Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed "fast-RSOM", a new imaging technology that can capture detailed images of the smallest blood vessels directly through the skin – without the need for invasive procedures.

New technology scans skin to uncover hidden cardiovascular disease indicators

German researchers have developed a non-invasive skin scan that can detect early signs of heart disease risk.

Early Microvascular Markers of Heart Disease Detected by New Imaging Technology

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a new imaging technology that can noninvasively capture three-dimensional information from capillaries to detect early signs of heart disease. The system is called fast raster-scan optoacoustic mesoscopy (fast-RSOM) and is designed to visualize and quantify through the skin microvascular endothelial dysfunction (MiVED), a biomarker that often precedes dys…
