Xerostomia (severe dry mouth) is a debilitating and often permanent side effect experienced by head and neck cancer patients due to radiation injury to salivary glands. In this study, we evaluated the potential of ultrasound (US)-guided photoacoustic imaging (PAI) to non-invasively assess early chan...
