  4. Hybrid-scanning optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy for in vivo vasculature imaging

    Explore Article opticsinfobase.org (May 3 2010)

    Hybrid-scanning optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy for in vivo vasculature imaging Recently developed optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM), which is based on the detection of optical absorption contrast, is complementary to other optical microscopy modalities such as optical confocal microscopy, optical coherence tomography, and multiphoton microscopy. A hybrid optical–mechanical scanning configuration increases the imaging speed of OR-PAM significantly, facilitating many demanding biomedical applications. With a high-pulse-repetition-rate laser, the hybrid-scanning OR-PAM can acquire one-dimensional depth-resolved images (A-lines) at 5 kHz and two-dimensional B-scan ... (Read Full Article)

  7. In vivo, dual-modality imaging of mouse eyes: optical coherence tomography and photoacoustic microscopy within a single instrument

    Explore Article SPIE Digital Library (Mar 2 2010)

    In vivo, dual-modality imaging of mouse eyes: optical coherence tomography and photoacoustic microscopy within a single instrument Optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM) provides superb optical absorption contrast for red blood cells (RBCs), which makes it ideal for in vivo microvasculature imaging. In comparison, optical coherence tomography (OCT), widely used for tissue microstructure imaging, provides high optical scattering contrast. The two contrast mechanisms are highly complementary. In this work, we combined OR-PAM and OCT into a single, dual-modality imaging instrument for in vivo mouse eye imaging. We demonstrated in ... (Read Full Article)

    Fast-scanning reflection-mode integrated optical-coherence and photoacoustic microscopy We previously demonstrated that multimodal microscopy combining photoacoustic microscopy and optical coherence tomography can provide comprehensive insight into biological tissue at µm-level resolution by exploiting both optical absorption and scattering contrasts. Recently, we have developed a second-generation integrated photoacoustic and optical-coherence microscope, which can potentially be adapted for clinical applications. In this new system, we can perform photoacoustic and optical-coherence imaging simultaneously at a speed of 5,000 A-lines per second ... (Read Full Article)

    High-resolution volumetric optical imaging modalities, such as confocal microscopy, two-photon microscopy, and optical coherence tomography, have become increasingly important in biomedicine. However, due to strong light scattering, the penetration depths of these imaging modalities are limited to the optical transport mean free path (1 mm) in biological tissues. Photoacoustic imaging, an emerging hybrid modality that can provide strong endogenous and exogenous optical absorption contrasts with high ultrasonic spatial resolution, has ... (Read Full Article)

    The upper airway serves three important functions: respiration, swallowing, and speech. During development it undergoes significant structural and functional changes that affect its size, shape, and mechanical properties. Abnormalities of the upper airway require prompt attention, because these often alter ventilatory patterns and gas exchange, particularly during sleep when upper airway motor tone and ventilatory drive are diminished. Recognizing the relationship of early life events to lung health and disease, ... (Read Full Article)

    Three-dimensional combined photoacoustic and optical coherence microscopy for in vivo microcirculation studies Photoacoustic microscopy is predominantly sensitive to optical absorption, while optical coherence tomography relies on optical backscattering. Integrating their complementary contrasts can provide comprehensive information about biological tissue. We have developed a dual-modality microscope that combines the two for studying microcirculation. Three-dimensional imaging of microvasculature and its local environment has been demonstrated at micrometer-order resolution using endogenous contrast in vivo. (Read Full Article)
