Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a noninvasive hybrid imaging modality offering rich optical contrast and high depth-to-resolution ratio deep-tissue imaging. Endogenous chromophores present in the body such as hemoglobin, lipid, melanin, and so on provide strong photoacoustic contrast due to their str...
