The photoacoustic (PA) technique is a non-invasive, non-ionizing hybrid technique that
exploits laser irradiation for sample excitation and acquires an ultrasound signal generated …

Photoacoustic spectroscopy can generate abundant chemical and physical information
about biological tissues. However, this abundance of information makes it difficult to …

In our previous studies, we demonstrated the ability of an interstitial all-optical needle
photoacoustic (PA) sensing probe and PA spectral analysis (PASA) to assess the …

Prostate cancer is poorly visualized on ultrasonography (US) so that current biopsy requires
either a templated technique or guidance after fusion of US with magnetic resonance …

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI), also known as optoacoustic imaging, is a rapidly growing
imaging modality with potential in medical diagnosis and therapy monitoring. This paper …

In vivo imaging of prostate cancer with photoacoustic tomography is currently limited by the
lack of sufficient local fluence for deep tissue penetration and the risk of over-irradiation near …

Purpose Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)‐guided biopsy is the standard procedure for
evaluating the presence and aggressiveness of prostate cancer. TRUS biopsy involves …

In a conventional computer aided diagnosis workflow, features/markers, which are extracted
from regions of interest in medical images, are analysed and assigned to different classes …

Thyroid nodule (TN), a discrete palpable swelling of the thyroid gland, is prevalent among
8% of the adult population. The important concern with these nodules is the differentiation …

The diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer (PCa) has relied on microscopic architectures,
namely Gleason patterns, of tissues extracted through core biopsies. Technology capable of …
