Purpose: Optoacoustic imaging relies on the detection of ultrasonic waves induced by laser
pulse excitations to map optical absorption in biological tissue. A tomographic geometry …

We develop a system for three-dimensional whole-body optoacoustic tomography of small
animals for applications in preclinical research. The tomographic images are obtained while …

A real-time 512-element photoacoustic tomography system for small animal imaging using a
ring ultrasound array has been developed. The system, based upon a 5 MHz transducer …

Optoacoustic imaging has been primarily implemented in the time domain, ie, using
ultrashort nanosecond laser pulses for illumination. Alternatively, frequency domain …

Cross sectional tomographic systems based on cylindrically focused transducers are widely
used in optoacoustic (photoacoustic) imaging due to important advantages they provide …

We present the application of a curved array photoacoustic tomographic imaging system that
can provide rapid, high-resolution photoacoustic imaging of small animal brains. The system …

Optoacoustic (photoacoustic) imaging based on cylindrically focused 1-D transducer arrays
comes with powerful characteristics in visualizing optical contrast. Parallel reading of …

Applicability of optoacoustic imaging in biology and medicine is determined by several key
performance characteristics. In particular, an inherent trade-off exists between the acquired …

We present systematic characterization of a photoacoustic imaging system optimized for
rapid, high-resolution tomographic imaging of small animals. The system is based on a 128 …

Optoacoustic (photoacoustic) imaging is often performed with one‐dimensional transducer
arrays, in analogy to ultrasound imaging. Optoacoustic imaging using linear arrays offers …
