CONTRAST-ENHANCED PHOTOACOUSTIC IMAGING USING INDOCYANINE GREEN-CONTAINING NANOPARTICLES
Contrast agents are attracting a great deal of attention in photoacoustic imaging. Here we introduce an exogenous contrast agent that provides high photoacoustic signal amplitude at the near-infrared wavelength. Our agents consist of Indocyanine green (ICG) and phospholipid–polyethylene glycol (PL–P...
