Accurate image reconstruction is crucial for photoacoustic (PA) computed tomography (PACT). Recently, deep learning has been used to reconstruct PA images with a supervised scheme, which requires high-quality images as ground truth labels. However, p...
OBJECTIVE: Bone diseases deteriorate the microstructure of bone tissue. Optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM) enables high spatial resolution of imaging bone tissues. However, the spatiotemporal trade-off limits the application of OR-P...
Translating medical microrobots into clinics requires tracking, localization, and performing assigned medical tasks at target locations, which can only happen when appropriate design, actuation mechanisms, and medical imaging systems are integrated i...

Mesoscopic photoacoustic imaging (PAI) enables label-free visualization of vascular networks in tissues with high contrast and resolution. Segmenting these networks from 3D PAI data and interpreting their physiological and pathological significance i...
SIGNIFICANCE: Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) promises to measure spatially resolved blood oxygen saturation but suffers from a lack of accurate and robust spectral unmixing methods to deliver on this promise. Accurate blood oxygenation estimation could ...
OBJECTIVE: Although there are methods to identify regions of interest (ROIs) from echocardiographic images of myocardial tissue, they are often time-consuming and difficult to create when image quality is poor. Further, while myocardial strain from u...
