| Research Abstract |
We investigated development of the advanced bioimaging method by integration of optics and ultrasound technologies which have common merits such as non-invasive, easy-to-use and real-time. Based onthe interaction between optics and ultrasound, i.e., the modulation of ultrasound by coded excitation of optical pulse, and the control of optical scattering by ultrasound-modulated optics, we developed fundamental technologies for the advanced photo-acoustic imaging with high SNR, temporal resolution and large measurable depth. The performance of proposed methods was validated by simulation and phantom experiments.
