Abstract
The primarily aim of this work is to review the recent development of different types of photoacoustic (PA) system to be used as an alternative means of blood flow imaging and biological tissues characterization, and to propose the future of PA imaging system. The advantages and limitations of the recently developed photoacoustic imaging systems in biomedical engineering have yet to be explicitly explored and compared. This paper compared and reported the use and technical aspects of different types of PA imaging commonly employed in clinical diagnosis, which include photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS), photoacoustic endoscopy (PAE), photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) and photoacoustic tomography (PAT). This work concluded that the capabilities and simplicity of PAS system renders it the optimal technique for non-invasive assessment of the characteristics of tissues in different diseases and in visualization of blood flow; this technology is suitably used in the design and implementation of a handheld medical imaging device in the future to analyze the oxygen saturation of tissues and to predict blood flow rate within microcirculation environment.The primarily aim of this work is to review the recent development of different types of photoacoustic (PA) system to be used as an alternative means of blood flow imaging and biological tissues characterization, and to propose the future of PA imaging system. The advantages and limitations of the recently developed photoacoustic imaging systems in biomedical engineering have yet to be explicitly explored and compared. This paper compared and reported the use and technical aspects of different types of PA imaging commonly employed in clinical diagnosis, which include photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS), photoacoustic endoscopy (PAE), photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) and photoacoustic tomography (PAT).

期刊介绍:
Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering is a scientific interdisciplinary, application-oriented publication that offer to the researchers and to the PhD students the possibility to disseminate their novel and original scientific and research contributions in the field of electrical and electronics engineering. The articles are reviewed by professionals and the selection of the papers is based only on the quality of their content and following the next criteria: the papers presents the research results of the authors, the papers / the content of the papers have not been submitted or published elsewhere, the paper must be written in English, as well as the fact that the papers should include in the reference list papers already published in recent years in the Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering that present similar research results. The topics and instructions for authors of this journal can be found to the appropiate sections.
