摘要：

A real-time 512-element photoacoustic tomography system for small animal imaging using a ring ultrasound array has been developed. The system, based upon a 5 MHz transducer array formed along a 50 mm circular aperture, achieves sub-200 micron lateral resolution over a 2 cm disk-shaped region. Corresponding elevation resolutions of 0.6 to 2.5 mm over the central volume enable depth-resolved 3D tomographic imaging with linear translation. Using 8:1 electronic multiplexing, imaging at up to 8 frame/sec is demonstrated for both dynamic phantoms and in vivo mouse and brain samples. The real-time, full 2D tomographic capability of the system paves the way for functional photoacoustic tomographic imaging studies in small animals with sub-second time frame.
