What is Towards in vivo photoacoustic human imaging: Shining a new light on clinical diagnostics about?

Multiscale visualization of human anatomical structures is revolutionizing clinical diagnosis and treatment. As one of the most promising clinical diagnostic techniques, photoacoustic imaging (PAI), or optoacoustic imaging, bridges the spatial-resolution gap between pure optical and ultrasonic imaging techniques, by the modes of optical illumination and acoustic detection. PAI can non-invasively capture multiple optical contrasts from the endogenous agents such as oxygenated/deoxygenated hemoglobin, lipid and melanin or a variety of exogenous specific biomarkers to reveal anatomy, function, and molecular for biological tissues in vivo, showing significant potential in clinical diagnostics. In 2001, the worldwide first clinical prototype of the photoacoustic system was used to screen breast cancer in vivo, which opened the prelude to photoacoustic clinical diagnostics. Over the past two decades, PAI has achieved monumental discoveries and applications in human imaging. Progress towards preclinical/clinical applications includes breast, skin, lymphatics, bowel, thyroid, ovarian, prostate, and brain imaging, etc., and there is no doubt that PAI is opening new avenues to realize early
