Modern trends in biophotonics for clinical diagnosis and therapy to solve unmet clinical needs.

abstract：:In photoacoustic tomography (PAT), a tunable laser typically illuminates the tissue at multiple wavelengths, and the received photoacoustic waves are used to form functional images of relative total haemoglobin (rHbT) and blood oxygenation saturation (%sO2 ). Due to measurement errors, the estimation of these paramete...
