PHOTOACOUSTICS 2023; 29:100456. [PMID: 36785577 PMCID: PMC9918423 DOI: 10.1016/j.pacs.2023.100456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
In this paper, we propose an efficient label-free in vivo photoacoustic (PA) imaging of melanoma using a condensed near infrared-I (NIR-I) supercontinuum light source. Although NIR-II spectral window is advantageous such as longer penetration depth compared to the NIR-I region, supercontinuum light sources emitting both NIR-I and NIR-II region could lower the efficiency to target melanoma because of low optical power density in the melanoma's absorption spectra. To exploit efficient in vivo PA imaging of melanoma, we demonstrated the light source emitting from visible (532-600 nm) to NIR-I (600-1000 nm) by optimizing stimulated Raman scattering induced supercontinuum generation. The melanoma's structure is successfully differentiated from blood vessels at a high pulse energy of 2.5 µJ and a flexible pulse repetition rate (PRR) of 5-50 kHz. The proposed light source with the microjoules energies and tens of kHz of PRR can potentially accelerate clinical trials such as early diagnosis of melanoma.

Spectroscopic photoacoustic microscopic imaging during single spatial scan using broadband excitation light pulses with wavelength-dependent time delay. PHOTOACOUSTICS 2022; 26:100364. [PMID: 35574189 PMCID: PMC9096666 DOI: 10.1016/j.pacs.2022.100364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2022] [Revised: 04/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
In most multispectral optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM), spatial scanning is repeated for each excitation wavelength, which decreases throughput and causes motion artifacts during spectral processing. This study proposes a new spectroscopic OR-PAM technique to acquire information on the photoacoustic signal intensity and excitation wavelength from single spatial scans. The technique involves irradiating an imaging target with two broadband optical pulses with and without wavelength-dependent time delays. The excitation wavelength of the sample is then calculated by measuring the time delay between the photoacoustic signals generated by the two optical pulses. This technique is validated by measuring the excitation wavelengths of dyes in tubes. Furthermore, we demonstrate the three-dimensional spectroscopic OR-PAM of cells stained with suitable dyes. Although the tradeoff between excitation efficiency and excitation bandwidth must be adjusted based on the application, combining the proposed technique with fast spatial scanning methods can significantly contribute to recent OR-PAM applications, such as monitoring quick biological events and microscale tracking of moving materials.

Abstract
Optical ultrasound sensors have been increasingly employed in biomedical diagnosis and photoacoustic imaging (PAI) due to high sensitivity and resolution. PAI could visualize the distribution of ultrasound excited by laser pulses in biological tissues. The information of tissues is detected by ultrasound sensors in order to reconstruct structural images. However, traditional ultrasound transducers are made of piezoelectric films that lose sensitivity quadratically with the size reduction. In addition, the influence of electromagnetic interference limits further applications of traditional ultrasound transducers. Therefore, optical ultrasound sensors are developed to overcome these shortcomings. In this review, optical ultrasound sensors are classified into resonant and non-resonant ones in view of physical principles. The principles and basic parameters of sensors are introduced in detail. Moreover, the state of the art of optical ultrasound sensors and applications in PAI are also presented. Furthermore, the merits and drawbacks of sensors based on resonance and non-resonance are discussed in perspectives. We believe this review could provide researchers with a better understanding of the current status of optical ultrasound sensors and biomedical applications.

Abstract
In recent years, many methods have been investigated to improve imaging speed in photoacoustic microscopy (PAM). These methods mainly focused upon three critical factors contributing to fast PAM: laser pulse repetition rate, scanning speed, and computing power of the microprocessors. A high laser repetition rate is fundamentally the most crucial factor to increase the PAM speed. In this paper, we review methods adopted for fast PAM systems in detail, specifically with respect to light sources. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first review article analyzing the fundamental requirements for developing high-speed PAM and their limitations from the perspective of light sources.

Abstract
Ultrasound and optical imagers are used widely in a variety of biological and medical applications. In particular, multimodal implementations combining light and sound have been actively investigated to improve imaging quality. However, the integration of optical sensors with opaque ultrasound transducers suffers from low signal-to-noise ratios, high complexity, and bulky form factors, significantly limiting its applications. Here, we demonstrate a quadruple fusion imaging system using a spherically focused transparent ultrasound transducer that enables seamless integration of ultrasound imaging with photoacoustic imaging, optical coherence tomography, and fluorescence imaging. As a first application, we comprehensively monitored multiparametric responses to chemical and suture injuries in rats' eyes in vivo, such as corneal neovascularization, structural changes, cataracts, and inflammation. As a second application, we successfully performed multimodal imaging of tumors in vivo, visualizing melanomas without using labels and visualizing 4T1 mammary carcinomas using PEGylated gold nanorods. We strongly believe that the seamlessly integrated multimodal system can be used not only in ophthalmology and oncology but also in other healthcare applications with broad impact and interest.

Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging - a hybrid biomedical imaging modality finding its way to clinical practices. Although the photoacoustic phenomenon was known more than a century back, only in the last two decades it has been widely researched and used for biomedical imaging applications. In this review we focus on the development and progress of the technology in the last decade (2010-2020). From becoming more and more user friendly, cheaper in cost, portable in size, photoacoustic imaging promises a wide range of applications, if translated to clinic. The growth of photoacoustic community is steady, and with several new directions researchers are exploring, it is inevitable that photoacoustic imaging will one day establish itself as a regular imaging system in the clinical practices.

Abstract
Accurate and timely assessment of the severity of burn is essential for the treatment of burns. Currently, although most first-degree and third-degree burns are easily diagnosed through visual inspection or auxiliary diagnostic methods, the second-degree burn is still difficult to distinguish due to the ambiguity boundaries of second-degree with first-degree and third-degree burns. In this study, we proposed a non-invasive technique by combing photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to multi-parameter quantitatively assess the burns. The feasibility and capacity of the dual-mode PAT/OCT for assessing the burns was first testified by tissue-mimicking phantom and burn wounds in mouse pinna in vivo. The further experiments conducted on the back of rats showed that the changes in skin scattering structure, vascular morphology and blood flow provided by the dual-mode PAI/OCT system can determine distinct boundaries and depth of the burns. The experimental results prove that combined PAI/OCT as a novel method can be used to assess the severity of burn, which has the potential to diagnose the burns in clinic.

Abstract
We present a dual modality functional optical coherence tomography and photoacoustic microscopy (OCT-PAM) system. The photoacoustic modality employs an akinetic optical sensor with a large imaging window. This imaging window enables direct reflection mode operation, and a seamless integration of optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a second imaging modality. Functional extensions to the OCT-PAM system include Doppler OCT (DOCT) and spectroscopic PAM (sPAM). This functional and non-invasive imaging system is applied to image zebrafish larvae, demonstrating its capability to extract both morphological and hemodynamic parameters in vivo in small animals, which are essential and critical in preclinical imaging for physiological, pathophysiological and drug response studies.
