Curved array photoacoustic tomographic system for small animal imaging.
We present systematic characterization of a photoacoustic imaging system optimized for rapid, high-resolution tomographic imaging of small animals. The system is based on a 128-element ultrasonic transducer array with a 5-MHz center frequency and 80% bandwidth shaped to a quarter circle of 25 mm radius. A 16-channel data-acquisition module and dedicated channel detection electronics enable capt...
متن کاملPhotoacoustic tomography of small animal brain with a curved array transducer.
We present the application of a curved array photoacoustic tomographic imaging system that can provide rapid, high-resolution photoacoustic imaging of small animal brains. The system is optimized to produce a B-mode, 90-deg field-of-view image at sub-200-microm resolution at a frame rate of approximately 1 frame/second when a 10-Hz pulse repetition rate laser is employed. By rotating samples, a...
متن کاملEvaluating performance of a pixel array semiconductor SPECT system for small animal imaging.
OBJECTIVES Small animal imaging has recently been focused on basic nuclear medicine. We have designed and built a small animal SPECT imaging system using a semiconductor camera and a newly designed collimator. We assess the performance of this system for small object imaging. METHODS We employed an MGC 1500 (Acrorad Co.) camera including a CdTe semiconductor. The pixel size was 1.4 mm/pixel. ...
متن کاملDeep-penetration photoacoustic array imaging of calcifications.
Calcifications are one of the most important indicators for early breast cancer detection. We explore the feasibility of deep-penetration photoacoustic (PA) imaging of calcifications based on a medical ultrasound array imaging platform. Intralipid and chicken breast phantoms embedded with different-sized hydroxyapatite (HA) particles, which are the major components of calcifications, were image...
متن کاملTomographic imaging of small airways.
Three-dimensional lung imaging has become a routine investigation in clinical medicine. The clinical needs have driven the development of tomographic imaging, as much as the research into better imaging itself has driven some of the improvements in imaging. There has been a steady stream of publications in which tomographic imaging has been used to measure small airway structure and function in...
