NON-INVASIVE PHOTOACOUSTIC COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY OF RAT HEART ANATOMY AND FUNCTION

Author(s): Li Lin, Xin Tong, Susana Cavallero, Yide Zhang, Shuai Na, Rui Cao, Tzung K. Hsiai, and Lihong V. Wang ABSTRACT Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) combines optical contrast with acoustic-resolution imaging, but non-invasive cardiac imaging with this technique has been limited by signal loss and distortion caused by the chest wall. This work presents a […]

HIGH-SPEED THREE-DIMENSIONAL PHOTOACOUSTIC COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY FOR PRECLINICAL RESEARCH AND CLINICAL TRANSLATION

Authors: Li Lin, Peng Hu, Xin Tong, Rui Cao, Xiaoyun Yuan, David C. Garrett, Junhui Shi, Konstantin Maslov & Lihong V. Wang ABSTRACT Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) has generated increasing interest for uses in preclinical research and clinical translation. However, the imaging depth, speed, and quality of existing PACT systems have previously limited the potential […]
