Characterization of lens based photoacoustic imaging system☆
Some of the challenges in translating photoacoustic (PA) imaging to clinical applications includes limited view of the target tissue, low signal to noise ratio and the high cost of developing real-time systems. Acoustic lens based PA imaging systems, also known as PA cameras are a potential alternative to conventional imaging systems in these scenarios. The 3D focusing action of lens enables re...
متن کاملSimultaneous photoacoustic imaging technique using an acoustic imaging lens.
A simultaneous photoacoustic (PA) tomography imaging technique in multilayer samples was developed. Instead of using the PA image reconstruction methods on the basis of complex algorithms, obtaining a two-dimensional PA image in real time is available by using an acoustic lens that has the ability of parallel imaging. The imaging system can acquire the complete PA signals of high signal-to-nois...
متن کاملA differential photoacoustic imaging system
We describe a differential photoacoustic (PA) imaging system in which almost equal intensity beams modulated 180' out of phase illuminate two regions of a sample in a PA cell. For two regions that are both optically and thermally similar and also homogeneous, the resulting signal is almost zero but if one region has a sub-surface defect this will give an increased signal. This differential sign...
متن کاملUnderwater imaging with a moving acoustic lens
The acoustic lens is a high-resolution, forward-looking sonar for three dimensional (3-D) underwater imaging. We discuss processing the lens data for recreating and visualizing the scene. Acoustical imaging, compared to optical imaging, is sparse and low resolution. To achieve higher resolution, we obtain a denser sample by mounting the lens on a moving platform and passing over the scene. This...
متن کاملMonkey brain cortex imaging by photoacoustic tomography.
Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is applied to image the brain cortex of a monkey through the intact scalp and skull ex vivo. The reconstructed PAT image shows the major blood vessels on the monkey brain cortex. For comparison, the brain cortex is imaged without the scalp, and then imaged again without the scalp and skull. Ultrasound attenuation through the skull is also measured at various incid...
