Photoacoustic tomography of intact human prostates and vascular texture analysis identify prostate cancer biopsy targets

Prostate cancer is poorly visualized on ultrasonography (US) so that current biopsy requires either a templated technique or guidance after fusion of US with magnetic resonance imaging. Here we determined the ability for photoacoustic tomography (PAT) and US followed by texture-based image processin...
