DOI: 10.1002/jbio.202500175
Abstract: Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) synergizes optical absorption contrast with ultrasonic resolution for noninvasive biomedical imaging yet faces limitations in signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR), resolution, and contrast. This study introduces a coherent‐excitation PACT system integrating interferometric optical… read more here.
