Preterm neonates are vulnerable to periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage since the periventricular germinal matrix blood vessels are still immature and fragile until around 36 weeks. While cranial ultrasound imaging (cUS) is the standard technique for diagnosing brain injury in neonates, it has limited accuracy in detecting early-stage hemorr...
Article
Cardiovascular diseases are on the rise, presenting a significant global health challenge. The development of methods enabling the detection of alterations in vascular networks is critical for the early diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, including peripheral arterial disease, stroke, and hypertension. Here, we use photoacoustic mic...
Article
The use of photoacoustic brain imaging for hemorrhage detection holds significant clinical importance. This study focuses on the performance of sensitivity and detection capabilities of a single‐element scanning system, considering the remarkable signal‐to‐noise ratio of photoacoustic signals generated by a single‐element transducer. By employing b...
Article
Skin architecture and its underlying vascular structure could be used to assess the health status of skin. A non‐invasive, high resolution and deep imaging modality able to visualize skin subcutaneous layers and vasculature structures could be useful for determining and characterizing skin disease and trauma. In this study, a multispectral high‐fre...

Significance Cutaneous melanoma (CM) has a high morbidity and mortality rate, but it can be cured if the primary lesion is detected and treated at an early stage. Imaging techniques such as photoacoustic (PA) imaging (PAI) have been studied and implemented to aid in the detection and diagnosis of CM. Aim Provide an overview of different PAI system...

Intraventricular (IVH) and periventricular (PVH) hemorrhages in preterm neonates are common because the periventricular blood vessels are still developing up to 36 weeks and are fragile. Currently, transfontanelle ultrasound (US) imaging is utilized for screening for IVH and PVH, largely through the anterior fontanelle. However for mild hemorrhages...

Background Phacomatosis pigmentokeratotica (PPK) is a distinct and rare type of epidermal nevus syndrome characterized by coexisting nonepidermolytic organoid sebaceous nevus (SN) with one or more speckled lentiginous nevi (SLN). Atypical nevi including compound Spitz and compound dysplastic may manifest within regions of SLN. Patients with PPK, or...
Article
One of the key challenges in linear array transducer‐based photoacoustic computed tomography is to image structures embedded deep within the biological tissue with limited optical energy. Here, we utilized a manually controlled multi‐angle illumination technique to allow the incident photons to interact with the imaging targets for longer periods o...
