The photoacoustic (PA) effect, also called the optoacoustic was discovered in 1880s by Alexander Graham Bell and has been utilized for biomedical imaging sensing applications since early 1990s [...]

Over the last couple of years molecular imaging has been rapidly developed to study physiological and pathological processes in vivo at the cellular and molecular levels. Among molecular imaging modalities, optical imaging stands out for its unique advantages, especially performance and cost-effectiveness. Bioluminescence tomography (BLT) is an emerging optical imaging mode with promising biome...

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of soft tissues, using the proton (1H) signal from liquid water, has emerged as one of the most important medical imaging modalities. However, MR imaging of solids, such as bone, has not achieved biomedical significance because the short spin-spin relaxation times of nuclei in solids results in broad line-widths and poor spatial resolution. The prospect of extend...
