Tissue perfusion rate estimation with compression-based photoacoustic- ultrasound imaging
Tissue perfusion is essential for transporting blood oxygen and nutrients. Measurement of tissue perfusion rate would have a significant impact in clinical and preclinical arenas. However, there are few techniques to image this important parameter and they typically require contrast agents. A label-free methodology based on tissue compression and imaging with a high-frequency photoacoustic-ultr...
متن کاملNon-contact biomedical photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging.
The detection of ultrasound in photoacoustic tomography (PAT) usually relies on ultrasonic transducers in contact with the biological tissue through a coupling medium. This is a major drawback for important potential applications such as surgery. Here we report the use of a remote optical method, derived from industrial laser-ultrasonics, to detect ultrasound in tissues. This approach enables n...
متن کاملCoregistered photoacoustic-ultrasound imaging applied to brachytherapy.
Brachytherapy is a form of radiation therapy commonly used in the treatment of prostate cancer wherein sustained radiation doses can be precisely targeted to the tumor area by the implantation of small radioactive seeds around the treatment area. Ultrasound is a popular imaging mode for seed implantation, but the seeds are difficult to distinguish from the tissue structure. In this work, we dem...
متن کاملCompensation of Ultrasound Attenuation in Photoacoustic Imaging
Photoacoustic imaging is a non-destructive method to obtain information about the distribution of optically absorbing structures inside a semitransparent medium. It is based on thermoelastic generation of ultrasonic waves by the absorption of a short laser pulse inside the sample. From the ultrasonic waves measured outside the object, the interior distribution of absorbed energy is reconstructe...
متن کاملMultifunctional microbubbles and nanobubbles for photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging.
We develop a novel dual-modal contrast agent-encapsulated-ink poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microbubbles and nanobubbles-for photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging. Soft gelatin phantoms with embedded tumor simulators of encapsulated-ink PLGA microbubbles and nanobubbles in various concentrations are clearly shown in both photoacoustic and ultrasound images. In addition, using photoacousti...
