Thermoacoustic Molecular Imaging of Small Animals

We have designed, constructed, and tested a thermoacoustic computed tomography (TCT) scanner for imaging optical absorption in small animals in three dimensions. The device utilizes pulsed laser irradiation (680–1064 nm) and a unique, 128-element transducer array. We quantified the isotropic spatial...
