| Photoacoustic and magnetic resonance images of the same breast tumor, in one of the patients who took part in the clinical trial. The PA images are similar to those observed with dynamic contrast MRI, in the respect that both are responsive to the presence of blood vessels close to the tumor site. The Twente team says that this validation of PA imaging with MRI, and "CD31" stained histopathology, has not been reported previously.
