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
