Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) has achieved remarkable growth in the past few decades since
it takes advantage of both optical and ultrasound (US) imaging. In order to better promote …

Monte Carlo (MC) simulation for light propagation in tissue is the gold standard for studying
the light propagation in biological tissue and has been used for years. Interaction of photons …

Translating photoacoustic (PA) imaging into clinical setup is a challenge. We report an
integrated PA and ultrasound imaging system by combining the light delivery to the tissue …

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) provides high-resolution and high-optical-contrast imaging
beyond optical diffusion limit. Further improvement in imaging depth has been achieved by …

Abdominal surgeries carry considerable risk of gastrointestinal and intra-abdominal
hemorrhage, which could possibly cause patient death. Photoacoustic imaging is one …

Forward and adjoint Monte Carlo (MC) models of radiance are proposed for use in model-
based quantitative photoacoustic tomography. A two-dimensional (2-D) radiance MC model …

Although linear transducer arrays have been intensely used in photoacoustic imaging, their
geometrical shape constrains light illumination. Today, most linear array based …

Background Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) detects light-induced ultrasound
(US) waves to reconstruct the optical absorption contrast of the biological tissues. Due to its …

Monte Carlo modeling of light transport in multilayered tissue (MCML) is modified to
incorporate objects of various shapes (sphere, ellipsoid, cylinder, or cuboid) with a refractive …

Combined ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging systems are being developed for
biomedical and clinical applications. One common probe configuration is to use a linear …
