Methods and Systems for Integrated Imaging Using Optical Coherence Tomography and Photoacoustic Imaging

摘要

Systems and methods for photoacoustic imaging are provided. Photoacoustic signals are excited from a body and the excited photoacoustic signals are detected with a low coherence interferometer system serving as a photoacoustic detector. Cross-sectional images of the body are then reconstructed by the system from the detected photoacoustic signals.
