Clinical and Translational Imaging and Sensing of Diabetic Microangiopathy: A Narrative Review

Year: 2023
Type: review
Abstract: Microvascular changes in diabetes affect the function of several critical organs, such as the kidneys, heart, brain, eye, and skin, among others. The possibility of detecting such changes early enough in order to take appropriate actions renders the development of appropriate tools and techniques an imperative need. To this end, several sensing and imaging techniques have been developed or employed in the assessment of microangiopathy in patients with diabetes. Herein, we present such techniques; we provide insights into their principles of operation while discussing the characteristics that make them appropriate for such use. Finally, apart from already established techniques, we present novel ones with great translational potential, such as optoacoustic technologies, which are expected to enter clinical practice in the foreseeable future.
