Enhancing photoacoustic visualization of medical devices with elastomeric nanocomposite coatings

Abstract: Ultrasound (US) imaging is widely used for guiding minimally invasive procedures. However, with this modality, there can be poor visibility of interventional medical devices such as catheters and needles due to back-reflections outside the imaging aperture and low echogenicity. Photoacoustic (PA) imaging has shown promise with visualising bare metallic needles. In this study, we demonstrate the feasibility of a light emitting diode (LED)-based PA and US dual-modality imaging system for imaging metallic needles… Show more

“…For needle tip visualisation, a fibre-optic US transmitter could be integrated within the needle cannula so that the needle tip can be unambiguously visualised in PA imaging with high SNRs [10] . Light-absorbing coatings based on elastomeric nanocomposites could also be applied to the needle shaft for enhancing its visualisation for guiding minimally invasive procedures [65] .…”

“…Second, the SNR can be further improved by pulsed light with coded excitation [136] or intensity modulated continuous-wave (CW) light with a chirped frequency [137]. With the use of these light sources, various PAM and PACT systems have been demonstrated with imaging of red blood cells [138], vasculatures [[139], [140], [141], [142]], melanoma tumour [143], invasive devices [144,145] and atherosclerotic plaques [146,147]. Further, LDs and LEDs have been promising for use in miPAI systems as they can be easily miniaturised to mm level and fabricated in multi-element curved arrays, which could facilitate the probe design.…”
