Most-cited papers in Photoacoustics

A review of clinical photoacoustic imaging: Current and future trends

Amalina Binte Ebrahim Attia, Ghayathri Balasundaram, Mohesh Moothanchery et al. · 7 Nov 2019

Photoacoustic imaging (or optoacoustic imaging) is an upcoming biomedical imaging modality availing the benefits of optical resolution and acoustic depth of penetration. With its capacity to offer structural, functional, molecular and kinetic information making use of either endogenous contrast agents like hemoglobin, lipid, melanin and water or a variety of exogenous contrast agents or both,…

Photoacoustic clinical imaging

Idan Steinberg, David M. Huland, Ophir Vermesh et al. · 1 Jun 2019

Photoacoustic is an emerging biomedical imaging modality, which allows imaging optical absorbers in the tissue by acoustic detectors (light in - sound out). Such a technique has an immense potential for clinical translation since it allows high resolution, sufficient imaging depth, with diverse endogenous and exogenous contrast, and is free from ionizing radiation. In recent…

Sensitivity of photoacoustic microscopy

Junjie Yao, Lihong V. Wang · 24 Apr 2014

Building on its high spatial resolution, deep penetration depth and excellent image contrast, 3D photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) has grown tremendously since its first publication in 2005. Integrating optical excitation and acoustic detection, PAM has broken through both the optical diffusion and optical diffraction limits. PAM has 100% relative sensitivity to optical absorption (i.e., a given…

Photoacoustic tomography of blood oxygenation: A mini review

Mucong Li, Yuqi Tang, Junjie Yao · 1 Jun 2018

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a hybrid imaging modality that combines rich contrast of optical excitation and deep penetration of ultrasound detection. With its unique optical absorption contrast mechanism, PAT is inherently sensitive to the functional and molecular information of biological tissues, and thus has been widely used in preclinical and clinical studies. Among many functional…

Review on practical photoacoustic microscopy

Seungwan Jeon, Jongbeom Kim, Donghyun Lee et al. · 9 Aug 2019

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) has many interesting advantages, such as deep imaging depth, high image resolution, and high contrast to intrinsic and extrinsic chromophores, enabling morphological, functional, and molecular imaging of living subjects. Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) is one form of the PAI inheriting its characteristics and is useful in both preclinical and clinical research. Over the…

Photoacoustics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Photoacoustics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Photoacoustics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Photoacoustics use?
Photoacoustics uses Numbered (Elsevier) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title, Photoacoustics 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Photoacoustics?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Photoacoustics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Photoacoustics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Photoacoustics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Photoacoustics?
Photoacoustics is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's Photoacoustics template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Photoacoustics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Photoacoustics template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Photoacoustics template cost?
You can start writing in the Photoacoustics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Photoacoustics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
