Towards microvascular pressure estimation using ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging

Microvascular pressure drives perfusion in tissues but is difficult to measure. A method is proposed here to estimate relative pressures in microvessels using photoacoustic and ultrasound tracking of small vessels during calibrated tissue compression. A photoacoustic–ultrasound dual imaging transduc...
