Ultrason Imaging

Abstract

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) combines rich optical absorption contrast with the high spatial resolution of ultrasound at depths in tissue. The high scalability of PAT has enabled anatomical imaging of biological structures ranging from organelles to organs. The inherent functional and molecular imaging capabilities of PAT have further allowed it to measure important physiological parameters and track critical cellular activities. Integration of PAT with other imaging technologies provides complementary capabilities and can potentially accelerate the clinical translation of PAT.DP1 EB016986/EB/NIBIB NIH HHS/United StatesR01 CA186567/CA/NCI NIH HHS/United StatesU01 NS090579/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/United StatesDP1 EB016986/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHS/United States2016-01-01T00:00:00Z25933617PMC462890
