This short review discusses the recent developments in low-cost, high-resolution optoacoustic microscopy systems, integrating laser diodes for signal excitation, which are 20-40 times cheaper than the typically employed Q-switched nanosecond laser sources. The development of laser diode-based microscopes can substantially improve not only cost efficiency, but also multispectral capabilities, robustness, portability and overall imaging performance of the optoacoustic technique. To this end, we demonstrate relevant implementations in both time and frequency domain, highlighting their representative applications in biomedical research such as microvasculature imaging, oxygen saturation assessments, hybrid and multiview microscopy of model organisms and tissues and Doppler flow speed measurements.

Pompe disease (PD) is a rare autosomal recessive glycogen storage disorder that causes proximal muscle weakness and loss of respiratory function. While enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is the only effective treatment, biomarkers for disease monitoring are scarce. Following ex vivo biomarker validation in phantom studies, we apply multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT), a laser- and ultrasound-based non-invasive imaging approach, in a clinical trial (NCT05083806) to image the biceps muscles of 10 late-onset PD (LOPD) patients and 10 matched healthy controls.

Microcirculatory dysfunction has been observed in the dermal white adipose tissue (dWAT) and subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT) of obese humans and has been proposed as an early prediction marker for cardio-metabolic disease progression. visualization and longitudinal monitoring of microvascular remodeling in these tissues remains challenging. We compare the performance of two optoacoustic imaging methods, i.
