Pulsed laser diode excitation for transcranial photoacoustic imaging
Maxim N. Cherkashin, Jan Laufer, Thomas Kirchner
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging of deep tissue tends to employ Q-switched lasers with high pulse energy to generate high optical fluence and therefore high PA signal. Compared to Q-swit…

3D printed human skull phantoms for transcranial photoacoustic imaging
Hannah Linde, Saskia Menzer, Jan Laufer +1
Photoacoustic (PA) waves are strongly distorted and attenuated in skull bone. To study these effects on PA imaging, we designed and 3D-printed tissue-mimicking phantoms of human sk…
