Abstract
Description
[0001] Technical field The present invention relates to photoacoustic tomography technology, in particular to a method and device for photoacoustic tomography in biological tissue. Background technique
[0002] In recent years, research on the photoacoustic effect and photoacoustic tomography have received increasing attention. When a certain object is irradiated with light, its internal temperature will change due to its absorption of light, which will cause changes in the mechanical parameters of its local area; when a pulsed light source or modulated light source is used, the fluctuation of the local temperature inside the object will cause Its volume expands and contracts, thus radiating sound waves outward. This phenomenon is called photoacoustic field effect (referred to as photoacoustic effect). The photoacoustic effect is actually an energy conversion process. According to the heat conduction equation and wave equation,...
