On Thursday, March 4, 2021 (3:00 PM – 4:00 PM GMT), iThera Medical is hosting a webinar ‘Optoacoustic imaging in inflammatory bowel disease.’ Here, Prof. Dr med. Maximilian Waldner, Professor of Functional Imaging in Medicine at the Erlangen University Hospital, will outline his work in the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) field and the use of MSOT as an emerging modality for non-invasive IBD imaging as well as introduce the first multi-centre clinical trial, EUPHORIA.

EUPHORIA is an EU Horizon 2020 project (grant agreement No. 830965.) coordinated by our partners at iThera Medical GmbH.

IBD is typically diagnosed and monitored using colonoscopy which poses significant patient discomfort and the risk of complications. A new alternative to this is Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT), an imaging technology that enables the rapid, non-invasive and quantitative monitoring of IBD.

Topics to be covered include:

  • An overview of the current methods for diagnosing and monitoring IBD
  • Description of clinical research evaluating the potential of MSOT for imaging IBD
  • An outlook for MSOT towards the routine examination and monitoring of IBD
