Photoacoustic (PA) imaging holds great promise for preclinical research and clinical practice. However, most studies rely on the laser wavelength in the first near-infrared (NIR) window (NIR-I, 650–950 nm), while few studies have been exploited in the second NIR window (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm), mainly...
