All-optical ultrasound – rejuvenating an imaging workhorse
One of the most exciting recent developments in imaging consists of all-optical ultrasound. Unlike traditional ultrasound, which is achieved using piezoelectric transducers, optical systems perform ultrasonic generation via pulsed light. This is followed by optical reception of ultrasonic reflections from the tissue which is being imaged. Reducing the need for trade-offThough ultrasound is one of […]
