Real-time dual-modal photoacoustic and fluorescence small animal imaging.


ABSTRACT: By combining optical absorption contrast and acoustic resolution, photoacoustic imaging (PAI) has broken the barrier in depth for high-resolution optical imaging. Meanwhile, Fluorescence imaging (FLI), owing to advantages of high sensitivity and high specificity with abundant fluorescence agents and proteins, has always been playing a key role in live animal studies. Based on different optical contrast mechanisms, PAI and FLI can provide important complementary information to each other. In this work, we uniquely designed a Photoacoustic-Fluorescence (PA-FL) imaging system that provides real-time dual modality imaging, in which a half-ring ultrasonic array is employed for high quality PA tomography and a specially designed optical window allows simultaneous whole-body fluorescence imaging. The performance of this dual modality system was demonstrated in live animal studies, including real-time monitoring of perfusion and metabolic processes of fluorescent dyes. Our study indicates that the PA-FL imaging system has unique potential for live small animal research.
