Integrated ultrasound and photoacoustic probe for co-registered intravascular imaging.
We report on the synergy of an integrated ultrasound (US) and photoacoustic (PA) probe system for intravascular imaging. The combined dual-modality probe is based on a 39 MHz ring-shaped US transducer which detects both US echoes and laser-generated PA signals. By combining optical fiber, US transducer, and micromirror, we can obtain intravascular cross-sectional B-scan images by internal illum...
متن کاملIntegrated intravascular ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging scan head.
The combination of intravascular ultrasound and intravascular photoacoustic imaging has been proposed for improving the diagnosis of arterial diseases. We describe a novel scan-head design for implementing such multimodality imaging. The proposed device has the potential to achieve a sufficiently small size for clinical intravascular applications. The design aims for efficient image data acquis...
متن کاملNon-contact biomedical photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging.
The detection of ultrasound in photoacoustic tomography (PAT) usually relies on ultrasonic transducers in contact with the biological tissue through a coupling medium. This is a major drawback for important potential applications such as surgery. Here we report the use of a remote optical method, derived from industrial laser-ultrasonics, to detect ultrasound in tissues. This approach enables n...
متن کاملCompensation of Ultrasound Attenuation in Photoacoustic Imaging
Photoacoustic imaging is a non-destructive method to obtain information about the distribution of optically absorbing structures inside a semitransparent medium. It is based on thermoelastic generation of ultrasonic waves by the absorption of a short laser pulse inside the sample. From the ultrasonic waves measured outside the object, the interior distribution of absorbed energy is reconstructe...
متن کاملCoregistered photoacoustic-ultrasound imaging applied to brachytherapy.
Brachytherapy is a form of radiation therapy commonly used in the treatment of prostate cancer wherein sustained radiation doses can be precisely targeted to the tumor area by the implantation of small radioactive seeds around the treatment area. Ultrasound is a popular imaging mode for seed implantation, but the seeds are difficult to distinguish from the tissue structure. In this work, we dem...
