DeepColor Imaging

Photoacoustic tomography imaging systems with optical ultrasound detection.

DeepColor Imaging develops cutting-edge photoacoustic tomography (PAT) imaging systems.

PAT uses laser-generated ultrasound waves to visualise subtle changes (an early marker of disease) in the less-than-millimetre-scale veins and arteries up to 15mm deep in human tissues, helping inform patient care with its intricate and accurate visualisations - enabling a new standard in high-resolution and non-invasive imaging.

DeepColor's technology is backed by over 15 years of peer-reviewed research from the UCL Photoacoustic Imaging Group, one of the most cited groups in the field.
