Optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy of the metabolic rate of oxygen in a mouse renal tumor model

Abstract

We propose using noninvasive longitudinal optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (L-ORPAM) to quantify blood flow flux, oxygen saturation (sO_2), and thereby the metabolic rate of oxygen (MRO_2), for a renal tumor model in the same mouse over weeks to months. Experiments showed that the sO2 difference between the artery and vein decreased greatly due to the arteriovenous shunting effect during tumor growth. Moreover, hypermetabolism was exhibited by an increase in MRO_2.
