Quantitative photoacoustic tomography of skin vasculature predicts subcutaneous implant exposure
These findings establish a quantitative temporal relationship between vascular ischemia and implant exposure. PAT-derived vascular density serves as a predictive biomarker of skin failure, which can be used to enable interventional treatment and improve implant designs.
