Area of Science:

  • Biomedical optics
  • Medical imaging
  • Microscopy

Background:

  • Accurate microvasculature quantification is vital for disease research and clinical trials.
  • Current optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM) has limited depth-of-focus, requiring multiple scans for uneven surfaces.
  • This limitation hinders efficient and accurate microvascular analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an advanced OR-PAM system capable of real-time focal plane adjustment.
  • To overcome the depth-of-focus limitations of conventional OR-PAM for imaging microvasculature.
  • To improve the accuracy and efficiency of microvascular quantification in complex biological tissues.

Main Methods:

  • Development of continuous three-dimensional motorized contour-scanning OR-PAM.
  • Real-time adjustment of the focal plane to dynamically track vessel profiles.
  • Experimental validation of the contour-scanning technique against conventional OR-PAM.

Main Results:

  • Contour scanning improved signal-to-noise ratio by up to 41%.
  • Image acquisition time was reduced by 3.2 times compared to conventional OR-PAM.
  • Enhanced accuracy in quantifying microvessel density and diameter was achieved.
  • Successful application to imaging tumors with uneven surfaces.

Conclusions:

  • Continuous 3D motorized contour-scanning OR-PAM effectively addresses depth-of-focus limitations.
  • The developed technique significantly enhances imaging speed and quantitative accuracy.
  • This advancement offers improved capabilities for studying microvasculature in challenging biological samples.
