Title: Application of the Pulsed Photoacoustic Spectroscopy in Biomedicine

Abstract

The use of optical spectroscopy as a diagnostic tool in biomedical applications and research has grown considerably in the last two decades. One of them is the pulsed photoacoustic or optoacoustic, which promises to be one of the most important tools for disease diagnostic studies, because while most spectroscopies exploit the optical nature of the light-tissue interaction, this field of photoacoustics uses optical energy to generate an acoustic wave which propagates in the tissue environment. The acoustic wave propagation is fundamentally related to various tissue properties and an analysis of the wave dynamics can provide insights into these properties. This work presents a review on pulsed photoacoustic spectroscopy of several photoacoustic methods to derive information about tissue and tissue phantoms.
