Photoacoustic imaging

Book section · January 1, 2024 Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an emerging imaging modality that shows great potential for preclinical research and clinical practice. As a hybrid technique, PAI uniquely combines the advantages of optical excitation and acoustic detection. Optical excitat ... Full text Cite

Photoacoustic Microscopy

Book section · January 1, 2024 Biomedical imaging allows us to explore the complex biology of living organisms and better understand the clinical progression of diseases through the visualization of dynamic, functional, and molecular events. Among the mod-ern biomedical imaging technolo ... Full text Cite

Photoacoustic Molecular Imaging: Principles and Practice

Book section · January 1, 2021 Physically combining optical excitation and acoustic detection, photoacoustic (PA) tomography (PAT) has become increasingly popular in biomedical research. By analyzing the optical absorption signature of the target, PAT can image various endogenous and ex ... Full text Cite

Photoacoustic neuroimaging

Book section · January 1, 2017 The photoacoustic effect, first discovered by Alexander Bell in 1880 (Bell 1880), refers to the formation of sound waves following light absorption in an object. The conversion of optical energy to acoustic energy allows visualization of deep tissue optica ... Full text Cite

Nanoparticles for photoacoustic imaging of vasculature

Book section · January 1, 2016 Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a multi-scale, multi-contrast biomedical imaging modality that can provide anatomical, functional, metabolic, and molecular information about tissue. PAI offers up to submicron resolution and several centimeters penetration d ... Full text Cite

Photoacoustic Tomography for Biomedical Applications

Book section · January 1, 2007 Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) has quickly become one of the fastest growing biomedical imaging modalities, since its first demonstration of functional imaging in small animal about a decade ago. Combining optical excitation with acoustic detection, PAT ca ... Full text Cite
