Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a powerful imaging modality that relies on the PA effect. PAI
works on the principle of electromagnetic energy absorption by the exogenous contrast …

Photoacoustic imaging is a hybrid imaging modality that offers the advantages of optical
(spectroscopic contrast) and ultrasound imaging (scalable spatial resolution and imaging …

Minimally invasive surgeries often require complicated maneuvers and delicate hand–eye
coordination and ideally would incorporate “x-ray vision” to see beyond tool tips and …

Ultrasound imaging is widely used to guide minimally invasive procedures, but the
visualization of the invasive medical device and the procedure's target is often challenging …

Despite many endeavors to treat malignant gliomas in the last decades, the median survival
of patients has not significantly improved. The infiltrative nature of high-grade gliomas and …

Significance: Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a powerful emerging technology with broad
clinical applications, but consensus test methods are needed to standardize performance …

Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) holds great promise for biomedical imaging,
but wide-spread implementation is impeded by the bulkiness of flash-lamp-pumped laser …

Singular value decomposition (SVD) was used to identify and remove laser-induced noise in
photoacoustic images acquired with a clinical ultrasound scanner. This noise, which was …

Plasmonic particles as gold nanorods have emerged as powerful contrast agents for critical
applications as the photoacoustic imaging and photothermal ablation of cancer. However …

One cause for suboptimal photoacoustic tomography (PAT) penetration depth is attenuation
of incident light by soft tissue. To better understand this problem, we investigated the effects …
