Mitigating skin tone bias in linear array in vivo photoacoustic imaging with short-lag spatial coherence beamforming

Photoacoustic (PA) imaging has the potential to deliver non-invasive diagnostic information. However, skin tone differences bias PA target visualization, as the elevated optical absorption of melanated skin decreases optical fluence within the imaging plane and increases the presence of acoustic clu...
