Photoacoustic Microscopy and Computed Tomography: From Bench to Bedside [PDF]
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) of biological tissue has seen immense growth in the past decade, providing unprecedented spatial resolution and functional information at depths in the optical diffusive regime. PAI uniquely combines the advantages of optical excitation and those of acoustic detection.

Multiple passive element enriched photoacoustic computed tomography [PDF]
Recently, we presented a method using laser-induced ultrasound from an external absorber (passive element) to image the ultrasound transmission parameters of an object under photoacoustic tomographic investigation. The method suffers from long measurement times due to the requirement for a large number of views and consequently physical projections ...

Universal back-projection algorithm for photoacoustic computed tomography [PDF]
We report results of a reconstruction algorithm for three-dimensional photoacoustic computed tomography. A universal back-projection formula is presented for three types of imaging geometries: planar, spherical, and cylindrical surfaces. A solid-angle weighting factor is introduced in the back-projection formula to compensate for the variations of ...

Computed tomography-osteoabsorptiometry for assessing the density distribution of subchondral bone as a measure of long-term mechanical adaptation in individual joints [PDF]
To estimate subchondral mineralisation patterns which represent the long-term loading history of individual joints, a method has been developed employing computed tomography (CT) which permits repeated examination of living joints.

Cyclodextrin-Based Contrast Agents for Medical Imaging
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are naturally occurring cyclic oligosaccharides consisting of multiple glucose subunits. CDs are widely used in host–guest chemistry and biochemistry due to their structural advantages, biocompatibility, and ability to form inclusion ...

The sparse array elements selection in sparse imaging of circular-array photoacoustic tomography
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) has been developed, and photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) is widely used for in vivo tissue and mouse imaging. Simulated annealing (SA) algorithm solves optimization problems, and compressed sensing (CS) recovers sparse

Initial results of finger imaging using photoacoustic computed tomography [PDF]
We present a photoacoustic computed tomography investigation on a healthy human finger, to image blood vessels with a focus on vascularity across the interphalangeal joints. The cross-sectional images were acquired using an imager specifically developed for this purpose.
