New open-source framework simplifies clinical optoacoustic imaging analysis

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed OPTARI, an open-source software framework designed to streamline the clinical translation of optoacoustic imaging. This application, built upon the napari image viewer and the PATATO toolkit, offers features such as region-of-interest annotation, reconstruction, chromophore unmixing, and deep-learning-based tissue segmentation. OPTARI aims to bridge the gap between engineering frameworks and medical research by providing a standardized, reproducible, and accessible tool for analyzing optoacoustic-ultrasound data in clinical studies. AI

IMPACT Provides a standardized tool for AI-driven tissue segmentation in optoacoustic imaging, potentially accelerating clinical research.

    OPTARI: An open-source software framework for clinical translation of optoacoustic imaging

    arXiv:2610.32468v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Combined optoacoustic (OptA) and ultrasound imaging is a promising modality across a wide range of pathologies. Its use in clinical research, however, is limited by a lack of analysis software accessible to users without programmi…
