Abstract
A powerful combination of chemically specific Raman excitation and deep tissue ultrasound imaging holds the promise to attain spatially resolved distribution of chemical compounds inside the scattering medium. In this report, an attempt is made to evaluate the recent achievements and possible challenges with an eye on potential clinical applications.
