Photoacoustic molecular imaging with functional nanoparticles

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) breaks through the optical diffusion limit by making use of the PA effect. By converting incident photons into ultrasonic waves, PAI combines high contrast of optical imaging and high spatial resolution in depth tissue of ultrasound imaging in a single imaging modality. T...
