Improvement in resolution of fiber-laser photoacoustic tomography based on a virtual-point concept

Abstract In this study, a virtual-point concept was introduced into fiber-laser photoacoustic tomography to improve the elevational image resolution. The flexible fiber laser was bent into an arc shape to conform to the ultrasound wavefront, which formed an ultrasound focus at the center of the arc....
