Translating photoacoustic (PA) imaging into clinical setup is a challenge. We report an integrated PA and ultrasound imaging system by combining the light delivery to the tissue with the ultrasound probe. First, Monte Carlo simulations were run to study the variation in absorbance within tissue for...
