Photoacoustic Imaging for Medical Diagnostics

A Mobile Imaging System for Medical Diagnostics

Microscopy for medical diagnostics requires expensive equipment as well as highly trained experts to operate and interpret the observed images. We present a new, easy to use, mobile diagnostic system consisting of a direct imaging microlens array and a mobile computing platform for diagnosing parasites in clinical samples. Firstly, the captured microlens images are reconstructed using a light f...

Nanoparticles for photoacoustic imaging.

Nanoparticles have been designed and applied as contrast enhancers in various optical imaging techniques, such as optical coherence tomography, fluorescence imaging, and optical reflectance microscopy. As an emerging hybrid imaging modality, photoacoustic imaging (PAI) has also benefited from the application of these nanoparticle-based contrast agents. We review this rapidly growing field and d...

Photoacoustic imaging platforms for multimodal imaging

Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is a hybrid biomedical imaging method that exploits both acoustical Epub ahead of print and optical properties and can provide both functional and structural information. Therefore, PA imaging can complement other imaging methods, such as ultrasound imaging, fluorescence imaging, optical coherence tomography, and multi-photon microscopy. This article reviews technique...
