amount of patient data is limited. To further our understanding of the in vivo performance of …

Photoacoustic (optoacoustic) imaging can visualize vasculature deep in tissue using the
high contrast of hemoglobin to light, with the high-resolution possible with ultrasound …

In this review article, a detailed chronological account of the research related to
photoacoustic imaging for the management of breast cancer is presented. Performing a …

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes for cancer related deaths in women, and early
detection is extremely important to improve survival rates. Currently, x-ray mammogram is …

Purpose: To report the design and imaging methodology of a photoacoustic scanner
dedicated to imaging hemoglobin distribution throughout a human breast. Methods: The …

We have constructed a prototype photoacoustic mammography system (PAM-02) capable of
simultaneously acquiring photoacoustic (PA) and ultrasound (US) images. Each PA, US …
