Localization optoacoustic tomography (LOT) can significantly enhance the optoacoustic imaging capabilities by providing a spatial resolution beyond the acoustic diffraction barrier and further enabling mapping the blood flow velocity. Higher resolution results in an enhanced sensitivity to cardiac and breathing motion, which can degrade the LOT imaging performance even if the animal is constrained. We suggest a new approach based on aligning the motion-affected frames of the acquired sequence with a reference frame. Localization and tracking of particles is then performed in the corrected sequence. This results in an enhanced imaging performance and more accurate velocity readings.
