Photoacoustic imaging is a promising method for visualizing biological tissues with optical absorbers. This article provides an overview of the rapidly developing field of photoacoustic imaging. Photoacoustics, the physical basis of photoacoustic imaging, is analyzed briefly. The merits of photoacoustic technology, compared with optical imaging and ultrasonic imaging, are described. Various imaging techniques are also discussed, including scanning tomography, computed tomography and original detection of photoacoustic imaging. Finally, some biomedical applications of photoacoustic imaging are summarized.read more

Molecular-targeted nanorods for the localised destruction of cancer cells
TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that the nucleation pressure threshold of vapour bubbles around gold nanorods decreased with increasing laser fluence but the magnitude of the emissions were dominated by the peak acoustic pressures used.

Conjugate gradient preconditioning methods with symmetric algebraic reconstruction technique in photoacoustic imaging
TL;DR: A preconditioned conjugate gradient method is applied to the normal equations (PCCGNR method) for reconstructing the absorption distribution and works well in rectification of the measurement and converges quickly onto an accurate estimate of the distribution of absolute absorption.
