Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) has achieved remarkable growth in the past few decades since
it takes advantage of both optical and ultrasound (US) imaging. In order to better promote …

Ultrasound is extensively studied for biomedical engineering applications. As the core part
of the ultrasonic system, the ultrasound transducer plays a significant role. For the purpose …

Cardiac interventional procedures are often performed under fluoroscopic guidance,
exposing both the patient and operators to ionizing radiation. To reduce this risk of radiation …

Conventional intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) uses piezoelectric transducers to electrically
generate and receive ultrasound. However, it remains a challenge to achieve large …

Ultrasound sensors play an important role in biomedical imaging, industrial nondestructive
inspection, etc. Traditional ultrasound sensors that use piezoelectric transducers face …

The photoacoustic effect is an emerging technology that has sparked significant interest in
the research field since an acoustic wave can be produced simply by the incidence of light …

All-optical ultrasound (OpUS) is an emerging high resolution imaging paradigm utilising
optical fibres. This allows both therapeutic and imaging modalities to be integrated into …

The optical generation of pulsed ultrasound is attractive to nondestructive testing and
biological imaging, especially for those involving narrow operation space or strong electro …

Dual‐modality imaging employing complementary modalities, such as all‐optical ultrasound
and photoacoustic imaging, is emerging as a well‐suited technique for guiding minimally …

Coronary calcification plays a major role as a key surrogate measure of plaque burden,
providing powerful risk stratification and influencing preventive therapy. Depending on its …
