A wide variety of subcutaneous soft‐tissue masses may be seen in clinical practice. Handheld multispectral optoacoustic imaging technology (MSOT) was used in a proof‐of‐principle study to image superficial fatty tumors. Findings indicated that MSOT offers highly complementary contrast to sonography. The images show a pseudo‐color representation of three different multi‐spectral dataset obtained from subcutaneous lipomas. Signals from blood and fat obtained by multi‐spectral unmixing are displayed in red and fat in green, respectively. Further details can be found in the article by A. Buehler et al. on pp. 983–989.
