Photoacoustic Acupuncture Imaging Advancement
Photoacoustic tomography of the brain during acupuncture reveals cerebral responses to acupuncture needle stimulation. Researchers have developed new photoacoustic imaging techniques for use during acupuncture that employ short laser pulses to generate ultrasonic waves in living tissues. The techniques generate high ultrasonic resolution images with sharp contrast. The images show structural and functional images of […]
