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

Photoacoustic Imaging for Attenuating Acoustic Media
TL;DR: In this article, extended optical sources in an attenuating acoustic background are considered, and algorithms to correct the effects of imposed boundary conditions and that of attenuation as well are provided. And the effect of acoustic attenuation on image quality is compensated by using the stationary phase theorem.
