Photoacoustic (PA) imaging, also called optoacoustic imaging, is a new biomedical imaging
modality based on the use of laser-generated ultrasound that has emerged over the last …

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) has many interesting advantages, such as deep imaging depth,
high image resolution, and high contrast to intrinsic and extrinsic chromophores, enabling …

Although optical absorption is strongly associated with the physiological status of biological
tissue, existing high-resolution optical imaging modalities, including confocal microscopy …

Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) is a hybrid in vivo imaging technique that acoustically
detects optical contrast via the photoacoustic effect. Unlike pure optical microscopic …

Photoacoustics has been broadly studied in biomedicine, for both human and small animal
tissues. Photoacoustics uniquely combines the absorption contrast of light or radio …

Visualization of dynamic functional and molecular events in an unperturbed in vivo
environment is essential for understanding the complex biology of living organisms and of …

Fuelled by innovation, optical microscopy plays a critical role in the life sciences and
medicine, from basic discovery to clinical diagnostics. However, optical microscopy is limited …

Photoacoustic (optoacoustic) tomography, combining optical absorption contrast and highly
scalable spatial resolution (from micrometer optical resolution to millimeter acoustic …

In the clinical photoacoustic (PA) imaging, ultrasound (US) array transducers are typically
used to provide B-mode images in real-time. To form a B-mode image, delay-and-sum …

Medical ultrasound and optoacoustic (photoacoustic) imaging commonly rely on the
concepts of beam-forming and tomography for image formation, enabled by piezoelectric …
