Photoacoustic Tomography of Breast Tissue Using Hemispherical Array and Planar Scanning

摘要

Photoacoustic imaging is enhanced by scanning (61) the sensor array (10) used in photoacoustic imaging laterally relative to the tissue being imaged, gathering multiple tissue images (70, 71, 72, 73) at multiple relative lateral positions, and generating a photoacoustic image (80) of the tissue by combining the images taken at multiple relative lateral positions.
