Brief
Conversion of photons to acoustic waves due
to absorption and localized thermal
excitation.
Pulses of light is absorbed, energy will be
radiated as heat.
Heat causes detectable sound waves due to
pressure variation.

Acoustic signals
• The light energy is converted into thermal energy via
energy absorption layer;
• The thermal energy converts into mechanical wave
because of thermal expansion;
• An acoustic wave is generated.

Tumor Detection Using Endogenous
Contrast

Using Exogenous Contrast
• 3-D photoacoustic imaging
• Evans Blue acted as a contrast agent.
• Deep lying blood vessels in real tissue
samples were imaged at depths of 5 mm
and at 9 mm from the plane of detection.
• The sensitivity of the technique was
proven by photoacoustic detection of
single red blood cells upon a glass plate.

COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT IMAGING
TECHNIQUES:
ULTRASOUND
 Transducer emit ultrasound wave and get signals back
from object. D= t.v
 Scan volume to get image
 Pros & cons: No side effects but low resolution
15
COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY
 Use X-ray to collect data
 Detector collects the sum of
absorption factors in one direction
 Using the computing algorithms, the
absorption factor of each voxel will
be calculated.
 3D image will be constructed based
on these factors.
 Pros & cons: 3D, high resolution but
increase the risk of cancer in those
exposed
16
MRI
 A powerful magnetic field is used to
align the magnetization of Hydrogen
atoms in the body
 Radio frequency fields are used to alter
the alignment of this magnetization
 Nuclei to produce a rotating magnetic
field detectable by the scanner
 Pros and Cons: 3D, good contrast but
make acoustic noise and may effect on
some implants in patients
17
POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY
 Positron-emitting radionuclide
(tracer) is introduced into the body
on a biologically active molecule
 System detects pairs of gamma
rays emitted indirectly by a tracer
 Three-dimensional images of
tracer concentration within the
body are then constructed by
computer analysis
18
Photoacoustic Imaging
PAI: Combine advantages of optical
(high contrast) and ultrasound (great
imaging depth and high resolution):
 high optical contrast images
 microscale resolution
 reasonable penetration depth
19
ADVANTAGES
DISADVANTAGES
1. Ability to detect deeply situated 1. Limited path length
tumor and its vasculature
2. Temperature dependence
2. Monitors angiogenesis
3. Weak absorption at short
3. High resolution
wavelengths
4. Compatible to Ultra Sound
5. High penetration depth
6. Non-ionizing/Non-radioactivity
7. Small size
8. Easy to clean and maintenance
9. No acoustic noise
20
Conclusion
• PAI has an edge over other imaging
modalities.
• Though it is in its infancy and there have as
yet been no large clinical trials,many initial
studies have demonstrated the possibilities
for its application in the biomedical field.
• Clearly, we should expect to see many
exciting clinical applications of PA
technologies in the near future.
