Photoacoustic Imaging Using Microstructured Plastic Fiber-Optic Illumination

We observed that photoacoustic imaging of a gelatin phantom, which consisted a graphite-filled inclusion with a 4-mm-diameter, illuminated by a microstructured plastic fiber guiding green laser light inside. This approach can effectively extend light propagation depth in tissue.
