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

High-Resolution Photoacoustic Imaging of Ocular Tissues
Ronald H. Silverman,Fanting Kong,Y. C. Chen,Harriet O. Lloyd,Hyung Ham Kim,Jonathan M. Cannata,K. Kirk Shung,D. Jackson Coleman +7 more
TL;DR: The aim was to demonstrate the application of PAI in ocular tissues and to do so with lateral resolution comparable to OCT, and to develop two PAI assemblies, which used single-element US transducers and lasers sharing a common focus.

Determining both sound speed and internal source in thermo- and photo-acoustic tomography
TL;DR: In this article, the authors give sufficient conditions to recover both the sound speed of the medium being probed and the source of the source from both the source and the medium, respectively.

Thermoacoustic tomography arising in brain imaging
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived an explicit inversion formula in the form of a convergent Neumann series under the assumptions that all singularities from the support of the source reach the boundary.
