A portable device with low-power consumption for monitoring mouse vital signs during in vivo photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy.

abstract：:The specific heat capacity of tissue is a critical parameter for thermal therapies that act over a long period of time. It is also critical for thermoacoustic signal generation. We present ex vivo measurements of specific heat capacity performed by a dual-pin probe with tight temperature control of the specimen. One 3...
