Quantitative Multi-Modal Optical Coherence Photoacoustic Elastography (opens in new tab)

We present a novel multi-modal optical coherence photoacoustic elastography (OCPE) framework, which combines two imaging modalities, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and photoacoustic tomography (PAT), to enable complementary absorption-scattering measurements for the extraction of quantitative tissue features via quasi-static elastography. For this, we develop a sophisticated hybrid inversion algorithm for merging the complementary informat...
