Abstract
High power light emitting diodes (LEDs) can serve as fast, robust and affordable excitation sources for photoacoustic imaging. We test the in vivo imaging capabilities of a multi-modal imaging platform that comprises of LED-based photoacoustic (PA) and conventional ultrasound imaging. We characterized the dynamics of a fluorescent contrast agent and modulation of tissue oxygenation in vivo. Fast dynamic PA imaging shows an increase in PA signal with increasing fluorescent agent concentration (Tmax ~ 8 min). Oxygen challenge studies revealed changes in blood oxygenation saturation (SO2) levels in relation to the modulation of breathing air and oxygen.
