In vivo integrated photoacoustic and confocal microscopy of hemoglobin oxygen saturation and oxygen partial pressure

Abstract

We developed dual-modality microscope integrating photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) and fluorescence confocal microscopy (FCM) to noninvasively image hemoglobin oxygen saturation (sO_2) and oxygen partial pressure (pO_2) in vivo in single blood vessels with high spatial resolution. While PAM measures sO_2 by imaging hemoglobin optical absorption at two wavelengths, FCM quantifies pO_2 using phosphorescence quenching. The variations of sO_2 and pO_2 values in multiple orders of vessel branches under hyperoxic (100% oxygen) and normoxic (21% oxygen) conditions correlate well with the oxygen–hemoglobin dissociation curve. In addition, the total concentration of hemoglobin is imaged by PAM at an isosbestic wavelength.
