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

Deconvolution algorithms for photoacoustic tomography to reduce blurring caused by finite sized detectors
Peter Burgholzer,H. Roitner,Thomas Berer,Hubert Grün,Dianne P. O'Leary,Robert Nuster,Guenther Paltauf,Markus Haltmeier +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, deconvolution was used to reduce the blurring caused by a finite detector size, which is proportional to the distance from the rotation center (spin blur) and is equal to the detector size at the detection surface.

Variational photoacoustic image reconstruction with spatially resolved projection data
TL;DR: This work formulate photoacoustic image reconstruction in a variational framework where it is added prior knowledge in terms of Total Generalized Variation to reduce measurement noise and improve the visibility of vessel structures.

Simultaneous multispectral coded excitation using periodic and unipolar M-sequences for photoacoustic imaging
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PUM’s improved SNR is superior to that of aperiodic m-sequence family codes or orthogonal Golay codes, and the frame-rate, which is normally limited by acoustic time-of-flight, can be maximized up to the pulse repetition frequency.

Spectrum analysis of photoacoustic signals for tissue classification
TL;DR: This work investigated the feasibility of obtaining quantitative photoacoustic estimates for sensi- tivity to microstructure and chromophores for tissue classification and found that all estimates were correlated with the size of particles dispersed in the phantoms.

Efficient regularization with wavelet sparsity constraints in PAT
Jürgen Frikel,Markus Haltmeier +1 more
TL;DR: This paper develops a direct reconstruction method that employs regularization with wavelet sparsity constraints and derives a wavelet-vaguelette decomposition (WVD) for the PAT forward operator and a corresponding explicit reconstruction formula in the case of exact data.
