肿瘤光声成像研究进展

Progression in photoacoustic imaging for cancer diagnosis and therapy

光声成像技术是近年发展起来的无创、无辐射的新型生物医学成像技术,其结合了超声成像的高空间分辨率和光学成像的高对比度,具有较强的组织穿透力,能进行实时分子成像,有良好的临床应用前景.笔者就光声成像的发展及其在肿瘤诊疗中的应用研究进行综述,以期为肿瘤光声成像转化医学研究提供新视角和思路.

Photoacoustic imaging （PAI） is an emerging new biomedical imaging technique integrated with the high spatial resolution of ultrasonic imaging and high contrast of optical imaging for real-time molecular imaging.PAI is well-suited for in vivo cellular/molecular signatures imaging in cancer diagnosis, therapy management and treatment response, with a promising potential in clinical and translational medicine.This review summarizes the current state of PAI application research on cancer theranostics, and gives insights on future translational medicine research.
