Developing a portable, high-speed, low-cost desktop photoacoustic tomography imaging system by Kalva, Sandeep Kumar

“…Therefore, to improve the imaging speed, we have used PLD along with 8 SUTRs rotating in 45 degree (instead of 1 SUTR rotating in 360 degree) and obtained a high scan speed of 0.5 s in vivo. Experimentally, all these transducers cannot be placed exactly at the same distance from the scanning center manually. …”
