Photoacoustic Imaging Based on Limited-Aperture of Transducer

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influence of the aperture of transducer on the photoacoustic imaging was analyzed in this paper. We used different lengths of the same absorber for experiments, and these results demonstrated that the signal intensity would become stronger with the increasing of length of the absorber. But it will remain the same when its length over a certain value.
