While in standard photoacoustic imaging the propagation of sound waves is modeled by the standard wave equation, our approach is based on a generalized wave equation with variable sound speed and material density, respectively. In this…
Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a nonionizing imaging modality capable of acquiring high contrast and resolution images of optical absorption at depths greater than traditional optical imaging techniques. Practical considerations with…
We consider image reconstruction in full-field photoacoustic tomography, where 2D projections of the full 3D acoustic pressure distribution at a given time T>0 are collected. We discuss existing results on the stability and uniqueness of…
Acoustic-Resolution Photoacoustic Microscopy (AR-PAM) is promising for subcutaneous vascular imaging, but its spatial resolution is constrained by the Point Spread Function (PSF). Traditional deconvolution methods like Richardson-Lucy and…
Photoacoustic microscopy with large depth of focus is significant to the biomedical research. The conventional optical-resolution photoacoustic microscope (OR-PAM) suffers from limited depth of field (DoF) since the employed focused…
As a hybrid imaging technology, photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) imaging suffers from noise due to the maximum permissible exposure of laser intensity, attenuation of ultrasound in the tissue, and the inherent noise of the transducer.…

Acousto-optic imaging (AOI) enables optical-contrast imaging deep inside scattering samples via localized ultrasound-modulation of scattered light. While AOI allows optical investigations at depths, its imaging resolution is inherently…
Photoacoustic Tomography (PAT) is an emerging biomedical "imaging from coupled physics" technique, in which the image contrast is due to optical absorption, but the information is carried to the surface of the tissue as ultrasound pulses.…

Accurate measurement of optical absorption coefficients from photoacoustic imaging (PAI) data would enable direct mapping of molecular concentrations, providing vital clinical insight. The ill-posed nature of the problem of absorption…
Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) is an emerging imaging method combining light and sound. However, limited by the laser's repetition rate, state-of-the-art high-speed PAM technology often sacrifices spatial sampling density (i.e.,…
Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) is a promising imaging modality because it is able to reveal optical absorption contrast in high resolution on the order of a micrometer. It can be applied in an endoscopic approach by implementing PAM into a…
In photoacoustic imaging, ultrasound waves generated by a temperature rise after illumination of light absorbing structures are measured on the sample surface. These measurements are then used to reconstruct the optical absorption. We…
