Photoacoustic
imaging has demonstrated promising
results for in vivo biomedical
imaging. The synergy of light and
sound makes photoacoustic imaging
unique among other optical imaging
modalities. Photoacoustic imaging
systems can be implemented in two
types: photoacoustic computed
tomography (PACT) and photoacoustic
microscopy (PAM). For PACT, a laser
beam illuminates a broad region, and
an ultrasonic array transducer is
employed for acoustic detection. The
image is formed by image
reconstruction. On the other hand,
for PAM, either a focused acoustic
transducer (for acoustic detection)
or a focused laser beam (for
illumination) is used to provide
spatial resolution. The image is
rendered by point-by-point scanning
of the imaging head.
We investigate
photoacoustic imaging in three
aspects: miniature imaging probes,
resolution enhancement algorithms,
and biomedical and industrial
applications. (i) We developed
several miniature photoacoustic
imaging probes including all-optical
photoacoustic imaging probe, double
gradient-index PAM imaging probe,
and forward-view wide-field PAM
imaging probe. These imaging probes
have potential for endoscopic
imaging applications. (ii) We
proposed algorithms for resolution
enhancement in photoacoustic
imaging, including mirrored
synthetic aperture focusing
technique and three-dimensional
deconvolution. (iii) We explored
applications of photoacoustic
imaging in various aspects such as
cell photoacoustic imaging,
photoacoustic imaging for intensive
care medicine, and photoacoustic
imaging of lithium batteries. |
