Abstract
We present the developments on a simple multiple-view dual-mode photoacoustic/ultrasound system for in-vivo, non-invasive, whole-body small-animal imaging and based on planar Fabry-Pérot sensor-based tomography systems to overcome present challenges. Single planar Fabry-Pérot sensors suffer from an incomplete view of the acoustic fields, which leads to blurring and artefacts in tissue sample images. Increasing the fields of view would relax this limitation. Another contribution to the degradation of the image quality are wavefront aberrations stemming from spatially-varying sound speeds in a tissue sample and which limit the imaging depth. These can however be corrected by carrying out ultrasound computed tomography.
