A 3D high resolution Fabry Perot photoacoustic scanner has been developed for clinical use. The system now employs a novel 64-channel optical scanning architecture and compressed sensing methods providing up to three orders of magnitude faster acquisition than previous pre-clinical embodiments. To demonstrate the rapid, high quality volumetric imaging capabilities, and the versatility of the scanner, images from different regions of the body that are known to exhibit distinctive vascular anatomy were acquired using healthy volunteers as participants. In addition, to illustrate potential clinical applicability, imaging studies of patients suffering from diseases characterised by abnormal vascular anatomy were conducted.
