Freehand optical ultrasound (OpUS) imaging is an emerging ultrasound imaging paradigm
that uses an array of fibre-optic, photoacoustic ultrasound sources and a single fibre-optic …

All-optical ultrasound (AOUS) imaging, which uses light to both generate and detect
ultrasound, is an emerging alternative to conventional electronic ultrasound imaging. To …

All-optical ultrasound imaging, where ultrasound is generated and detected using light, has
recently been demonstrated as a viable modality that is inherently insensitive to …

A miniature all-optical ultrasound imaging system is presented that generates three-
dimensional images using a stationary, real acoustic source aperture. Discrete acoustic …

Conventional ultrasound imaging probes typically comprise finite-sized arrays of periodically
spaced transducer elements which, in the case of phased arrays, can result in severe …
