A key element of optoacoustic diagnostics, which employs short laser pulses to generate ultrasonic pressure transients in tissues is besides a homogeneous illumination the optimum design of the pressure transducer. Different piezo-electrically and optically based pressure transducers will be compared and discussed.

We describe a parallel heterodyne detection method for real-time spectroscopic optical coherence tomography. Spectroscopic measurements using an ultrabroadband femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser has been carried out, demonstrating the feasibility of the present method.

In this paper, we present a reconstruction algorithm for backward mode optoacoustic imaging. The algorithm is developed from the optoacoustic wave equations and takes advantage of the simplification associated with line focusing, which is implemented with a synthetic aperture focusing and adaptive weighting method. Computer simulations and experiments were conducted to verify efficacy of the algorithm. Performance differences between numerical simulations and the experiments will be presented and discussed.

Drug delivery through skin has benefits such as its conveniences of providing controlled dosage to patients. In this article we investigate the effects of electrical characteristics of molecules on their effectiveness in transdermal drug delivery. Using multiphoton microscopy, we imaged the skin treated with fluorescent model drugs having different charges. We will present both the images obtained at different depths and axial fluorescence intensity profiles. Multiphoton microscopy is a useful technique for mechanistic analysis in transdermal drug delivery.

In this study, we evaluate the feasibility of using time-resolved autofluorescence spectroscopy for differentiating normal oral mucosa (NOM) from oral premalignant lesions including verrucous hyperplasia (VH), epithelial hyperplasia (EH), and epithelial dysplasia (ED). Time-resolved autofluorescence was measured at 633 nm under 410-nm excitation for 15 VH, 9 EH, 14 ED, and 38 NOM samples, and the two-component lifetimes for each measurement were calculated and a two-dimensional scatter plot was constructed. A Fisher's discriminant analysis (FDA) were used to classify the 4 types of tissues. The result showed that 71% of EH and VH, 86% of ED, and 100% of NOM samples were correctly identified.

The spectral reflectance of cortical phantom is measured with a multispectral imaging system. The wavelength-dependent path length factor is estimated from the first principal component of the reflectance spectra of the phantom and is compared with the mean optical path length predicted by Monte Carlo simulation.

Near infrared spectroscopy is an effective method to measure the concentration change in oxy-and deoxy-haemoglobin caused by brain activity. In this study, we investigate the relationship between position of focal absorption change in the brain and the cross talk in the results of near-infrared spectroscopy.
