当今世界，技术正在以指数速度发展，医学成像也不例外。在过去的百年中，随着成像模式的发明，医学成像领域取得了巨大的技术发展，包括但不限于 X 射线、超声波、计算机断层扫描、磁共振成像、正电子发射断层扫描和单光子发射计算机断层扫描。这些工具带来了更好的诊断和改善的患者护理。然而，这些方式中的每一种都有其优点和缺点，并且它们都不能揭示医生想要获得的所有信息。在过去的十年中，一种称为光声成像的新诊断技术不断发展，并迅速从研究阶段进入临床试验阶段。本文概述了光声成像的基础知识，并描述了我们在开发综合光声成像系统来检测组织异常方面的实践经验。
In todays world, technology is advancing at an exponential rate and medical imaging is no exception. During the last hundred years, the field of medical imaging has seen a tremendous technological growth with the invention of imaging modalities including but not limited to X-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, and single-photon emission computed tomography. These tools have led to better diagnosis and improved patient care. However, each of these modalities has its advantages as well as disadvantages and none of them can reveal all the information a physician would like to have. In the last decade, a new diagnostic technology called photoacoustic imaging has evolved which is moving rapidly from the research phase to the clinical trial phase. This article outlines the basics of photoacoustic imaging and describes our hands-on experience in developing a comprehensive photoacoustic imaging system to detect tissue abnormalities.
