Song }, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Photoacoustic Tomography (PAT) is a promising medical imaging modality that combines optical imaging contrast with the spatial resolution of ultrasound imaging. It can also distinguish the changes in biological features. But, real-time PAT system should be confirmed due to photoacoustic effect for tissue. Thus, we have developed a real-time PAT system using a custom-developed data acquisition board and ultrasound linear probe. To evaluate performance of our system, phantom test was performed. As a result of those experiments, the system showed satisfactory performance and its usefulness has been confirmed. We monitored the degradation of inflammation which induced on the rat’s kidney using real-time PAT. }, journal = {International Journal of Biotechnology and Bioengineering}, volume = {11}, number = {8}, year = {2017}, pages = {489 - 492}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10007775}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/128}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 128, 2017}, }
