Real-time monitoring of small animal cortical hemodynamics by photoacoustic tomography
Abstract
For the first time, the hemodynamics within the entire cerebral cortex of a mouse were studied by using photoacoustic tomography (PAT) non-invasively and in real time. The PAT system, based on a 512-element full-ring array with cylindrical focusing, received the PA signal primarily from a slice of about 2 mm thickness. This system can provide not only high resolution brain vasculature images but also hemodynamic functional images. We recorded the wash-in process of a photoacoustic contrast agent in a mouse brain in real time. Our results demonstrated that PAT is a powerful imaging modality to study real-time small animal neurofunctional activities that cause changes in hemodynamics.
