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

Fine-resolution photoacoustic imaging of the eye
TL;DR: In this article, a focused 20 MHz ultrasound probe with a central aperture was used for imaging the eye, which can produce 1-μJ, 5-nsec pulses at 532 or 1064 nm with a 20-μm spot size at a 500 Hz repetition rate.

Drug delivery monitoring by photoacoustic tomography with an ICG encapsulated double emulsion
TL;DR: In this article, the authors successfully encapsulated ICG in an ultrasound-triggerable perfluorocarbon double emulsion that prevents ICG from binding with plasma proteins, which could facilitate spatial and quantitative monitoring of ultrasound initiated drug delivery.
