EVALUATION OF ULTRASOUND SENSORS FOR TRANSCRANIAL PHOTOACOUSTIC SENSING AND IMAGING
Author(s): Thomas Kirchner, Claus Villringer, and Jan Laufer ABSTRACT Significance: Biomedical photoacoustic (PA) imaging is typically used to exploit absorption-based contrast in soft tissue at depths of several centimeters. When it is applied to measuring PA waves generated in the brain, the acoustic properties of the skull bone cause not only strong attenuation but also […]
