Photoacoustic imaging

Photoacoustic imaging is a valuable high-contrast in vivo imaging technique for pre-clinical and clinical applications. This technique uses laser-induced ultrasound.

Laser spectroscopy Photoacoustic imaging Ultra-high intensity

Photoacoustic image of the upper torso and brain of a female mouse.

Imaging with laser-induced ultrasound

Pulsed tunable-wavelength laser light makes tissue expand and emit ultrasound, which transducers capture to reconstruct 2D or 3D images.
