Abstract
Biomedical imaging continues to advance, providing ever more refined methods to diagnose and monitor diseases. Photoacoustic imaging, a hybrid modality that combines optical and acoustic technologies, stands out for its ability to deliver high-resolution images at a greater depth than optical microscopy. However, as with any imaging technology, its success will hinge on identifying specific clinical applications for which it offers clear advantages over established methods.
