Optical phantoms and tissue-mimicking materials have emerged as essential tools in the validation, calibration and optimisation of biomedical imaging systems. By replicating the optical and sometimes ...

The optical component of quantitative photoacoustic tomography, where optical parameters are estimated from the initial pressure generated by heating and expansion of biological tissues by laser ...

Surrogate samples (also known as tissue phantoms) are commonly used in medical applications to simulate human tissue. Optical tissue phantoms are synthetic models that simulate human tissue ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering, researchers developed a three-dimensional (3D) photoacoustic tomography (PAT) scanner for rapid vascular imaging. Visualizing ...

The first line of treatment for cancer is, whenever possible, to remove the cancerous tissue from the body. Though often ...
