Spectroscopic Photoacoustic Tomography of Prostate Cancer

Abstract

Major research accomplishment during the first year of this research project includes 1) fabrication of a fast speed noninvasive PAT prostate imaging system by using a stand-alone commercial ultrasound system; 2) testing the performance of this imaging system through the experiments on phantoms and ex vivo canine prostates; and 3) fabrication and optimization of a specially designed PVDF array transducer for high sensitive broad bandwidth detection of photoacoustic signals.
