报告摘要：

Photoacoustic imaging in biomedicine has seen a growth of research efforts in the past decade. Photoacoustic imaging is a hybrid diagnostic technique combining aspects of pure optical imaging and ultrasonic imaging. The advantages of photoacoustics in medical imaging include high spectroscopic contrast and deep tissue penetration depth with high resolution. One application area where photoacoustic imaging could addressed an unmet medical need is in surgical ablation treatments. In general, these treatments lack haptic feedback from the clinician, and therefore could benefit from a real-time monitoring system which can be achieved with photoacoustic imaging. This talk will present the photoacoustic imaging technique and demonstrate its potential in the applications of laser ablation and radiofrequency ablation surgeries.
