About
Aaron Dentinger is pioneering the clinical translation of hybrid photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging for inflammatory arthritis. His research focuses on developing automated, volumetric imaging systems that combine the functional sensitivity of photoacoustic imaging with the anatomical detail of conventional Doppler ultrasound. Dentinger’s key contributions include the design and validation of a robotic-arm-powered, automatic 3D imaging platform built on a GE HealthCare Vivid™ E95 system. This point-of-care device enables reproducible, operator-independent assessment of synovial inflammation in human finger joints—a critical need for early diagnosis and monitoring of rheumatoid arthritis. His most cited work (2023, 15 citations) demonstrates longitudinal volumetric imaging of inflammatory arthritis, while a subsequent study (2023, 8 citations) refined the system for clinical rheumatology settings. His most recent paper (2025) advances robotic arc-scan techniques for volumetric joint imaging. By integrating commercial-grade ultrasound with robotic automation and photoacoustic contrast, Dentinger is laying the groundwork for more objective, quantitative, and accessible arthritis assessment, directly addressing a major gap in rheumatology imaging.
