04 March Ben Cox (UCL) Biomedical Photoacoustic Imaging

(Abstract: Photoacoustic imaging uses laser-generated ultrasonic pulses to obtain 3D images of buried optical absorbers (eg. blood vessels) with ultrasonic resolution in optically highly scattering media such as soft tissue. It is beginning to find biomedical applications, notably in preclinical imaging. This talk will describe the fundamentals of photoacoustic imaging, practical measurement techniques, some of our latest preclinical images will be shown, and the remaining hurdles to be overcome will be discussed.)
