As a fast-growing imaging technology, photoacoustic (PA) imaging synergistically combines electromagnetic and ultrasonic waves providing higher contrast and resolution than conventional ultrasound imaging. This book presents the latest developments in this field, especially the advances in the detection of diseases using newly developed PA techniques. Organized in seven chapters, it covers philosophy and technological fundamentals of photoacoustics, key techniques related to fast PA imaging, PA microscopy, PA endoscopy techniques, PA viscoelastic imaging, all-optical non-contact PA imaging technology, and PA imaging’s prospects in the medical market. As the new generation of medical ultrasound, PA imaging will become a powerful modality in the field of medical imaging in the future.

Sihua Yang received his doctoral degree in optics in 2009 at South China Normal University, China. Currently, he is professor and vice dean at the College of Biophotonics, Institute of Life Science, South China Normal University. He has published more than 60 articles in peer-reviewed journals, including Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Small, Biomaterials, Optics Letter, Optics Express, and Applied Physics Letters. Dr. Yang received the Sylvia Sorkin Greenfield Award of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) in 2008 and the Natural Science Award of Guangdong Province in 2008 and 2013. His main research interests include photoacoustic microscopy imaging and clinical applications, multimodality imaging of photoacoustics, ultrasound and fluorescence, and ultrashort microwave-induced thermoacoustic imaging.

Da Xing received his doctorate in engineering from Harbin Institute of Technology, China, in 1989 and in physics from the University of Electro-Communications (UEC), Japan, in 1991. He joined the faculty of UEC as an assistant professor in 1991 and became an associate professor in 1993 in the Department of Electrical Engineering. In 1995, he joined the Institute of Laser Life Science, South China Normal University, China, as director and professor. Dr. Xing received the Prime Minister’s Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars in 1997; the Natural Science Award of Guangdong Province in 2000, 2002, 2005, 2008 and 2009; and the Natural Science Award of the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China in 2012. He has published more than 300 peer-reviewed journal papers and more than 150 book chapters, reviewed full proceedings, and attended more than 30 major invited talks at international conferences. His present research activities are in biophotonics, including bio-molecular spectroscopy, noninvasive photoacoustic imaging, microfluidics, and optical imaging of biometabolism.
