This special issue aims to cover recent advances in the developments and applications of photoacoustic imaging and thermoacoustic imaging. Photoacoustic imaging and thermoacoustic imaging have been developed for in vivo functional, metabolic, molecular, and histologic imaging by physically combining optical/microwave and ultrasonic waves. Over recent years, broad imaging applications have been achieved from cells and their constituents, to tissues and organs.
Original research papers, review articles and case studies are solicited for this special issue. Manuscripts will be internationally peer-reviewed. Submissions are encouraged dealing with the following and related topics:
· Photoacoustic microscopy and applications
· Photoacoustic elastograhy
· Photoacoustic endoscopy techniques and applications
· quantitative methods, combining computation and measurement
· Photoacoustic velocity measurement and imaging
· Intravascular photoacoustic tomography
· All-optical non-contact PA imaging technology
· Microwave-induced thermoacoustic imaging and applications
· Multi-modality PA imaging and applications
Submission deadline: March 31, 2017
Planned publication date: May 2017
Submission format: Authors should use the Latex or MS-Word style files. For more details, please visit http://www.worldscientific.com/worldscinet/jiohs
