Whilst ultrasound is widely used in clinical practice for real-time guidance, the image contrast that it provides can be insufficient for visualizing tissue structures such as blood vessels, nerves, and tumors. This study was centered on the development of a photoacoustic imaging system for interventional procedures that delivered excitation light in the ranges of 750-900 nm and 1150-1300 nm with an optical fiber positioned in a needle cannula. Co-registered B-mode ultrasound images were obtained.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The system, which was based on a commercial ultrasound imaging system, has an axial <span style=\"font-family: CMSS12\">resolution that is in the vicinity of 100 <\/span><i><\/i><span style=\"font-family: CMSS12\">m and a sub-millimeter, depth-dependent lateral <\/span>resolution.

The data in (E) represent the average values from 15 image frames; the error bars represent the standard deviations. Equation (4) is tted to the measured SROI values for each wavelength and compared with the measured data. The intersections of the tted curves and the noise oor indicate a maximum imaging depth of around 15 mm for the detection of blood vessels."},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/2015\/05\/29\/interventional-multispectral-photoacousic-imaging-system-guiding-minimally-invasive-surgeries\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"An interventional multispectral photoacousic imaging system for guiding minimally invasive surgeries"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/#website","url":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/","name":"GIFT-Surg Intranet","description":"Guided Instrumentation for Fetal Therapy and Surgery","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/#organization","name":"GIFT-Surg Intranet","url":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2015\/03\/GIFT-Surg-with-strapline1.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2015\/03\/GIFT-Surg-with-strapline1.png","width":502,"height":121,"caption":"GIFT-Surg Intranet"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/#\/schema\/person\/35a627ce9b7b549fa99c6a76a9174db3","name":"Wenfeng","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/47d4a94ab07dafc37df6f5756c52b24447027bbd9a8fe8f14d32df05a6e859f2?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/47d4a94ab07dafc37df6f5756c52b24447027bbd9a8fe8f14d32df05a6e859f2?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/47d4a94ab07dafc37df6f5756c52b24447027bbd9a8fe8f14d32df05a6e859f2?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Wenfeng"},"url":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/author\/wenfengxia\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/30"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=247"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp1.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/gift-surg-intranet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
