A review of clinical photoacoustic imaging: Current and future trends.
Photoacoustic imaging (or optoacoustic imaging) is an upcoming biomedical imaging modality availing the benefits of optical resolution and acoustic depth of penetration. With its capacity to offer structural, functional, molecular and kinetic information making use of either endogenous contrast agents like hemoglobin, lipid, melanin and water or a variety of exogenous contrast agents or both, PAI has demonstrated promising potential in a wide range of preclinical and clinical applications. This review provides an overview of the rapidly expanding clinical applications of photoacoustic imaging including breast imaging, dermatologic imaging, vascular imaging, carotid artery imaging, musculoskeletal imaging, gastrointestinal imaging and adipose tissue imaging and the future directives utilizing different configurations of photoacoustic imaging. Particular emphasis is placed on investigations performed on human or human specimens

In vivo label-free functional photoacoustic monitoring of ischemic reperfusion
Pressure ulcer formation is a common problem among patients confined to bed or restricted to wheelchairs. The ulcer forms when the affected skin and underlying tissues go through repeated cycles of ischemia and reperfusion, leading to inflammation. This theory is evident by intravital imaging studies performed in immune cell-specific, fluorescent reporter mouse skin with induced ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injuries. However, traditional confocal or multiphoton microscopy cannot accurately monitor the progression of vascular reperfusion by contrast agents, which leaks into the interstitium under inflammatory conditions. Here, we develop a dual-wavelength micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) scanning-based optical resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM) system for continuous label-free functional imaging of vascular reperfusion in an IR mouse model. This MEMS-OR-PAM system provides fast scanning speed for concurrent dual-wavelength imaging, which enables continuous monitoring of the reperfusion process. During reperfusion, the revascularization of blood vessels and the oxygen saturation (sO(2)) changes in both arteries and veins are recorded, from which the local oxygen extraction ratios of the ischemic tissue and the unaffected tissue can be quantified. Our MEMS-OR-PAM system provides novel perspectives to understand the I-R injuries. It solves the problem of dynamic label-free functional monitoring of the vascular reperfusion at high spatial resolution.11Nsciescopu
