| dc.description.abstract | We present the results of a study to introduce photoacoustic tomography capability into a 2D
endoscopic 64-element phased and 3D endoscopic 128-element crossed electrode ultrasound
array for the use in endoscopic brain surgery. Our approach was to fix fi ber optic cables to the
ultrasound arrays, couple these fi bers to a diode bar laser, and alter the ultrasound system
fi rmware for both endoscopes. Through experiments performed on hair targets, we established
requirements for transducer operating frequency, transducer dimensions, illumination
intensity and illumination duration. We were able to integrate photoacoustic tomography
into both endoscope systems and achieve images but the acquisition time was far too long
to be surgically useful. | en_US |
