optičnih in ultrazvočnih metod omogoča opto¬akustika velik optični kontrast
brez upada prostorske ločljivosti v optično sipajočih bioloških tkivih. V
biomedicinski optoakustiki obsevamo tkivo s kratkimi sunki laserske svetlobe.
Kljub sipanju vpadle svetlobe se selektivno segrejejo le absorbirajoče
strukture v notranjosti organa (npr. krvne žile). Kontrast v sliki tako
zagotavljajo velike razlike v absorpcijskih lastnostih tkivnih kromoforov,
bodisi endogenih (npr. oksi- in deoksihemoglobin) ali vnešenih od zunaj
(barvila, nanodelci ali kvantne pike). Hitro nehomogeno gretje snovi povzroči
nastanek tlačnih valov (termo-elastični pojav), ki jih zaznamo s primernim ultrazvočnim
detektorjem na površini vzorca. Pri enodimenzionalnih optoakustičnih meritvah
so amplituda in oblika vala ter časovni zamik med laserskim obsevanjem in
njegovo zaznavo povezani z močjo, dimenzijo ter globino akustičnega izvora. S
sistematičnim premikanjem detektorja (skeniranjem) lahko iz meritev
rekonstruiramo tri-dimenzionalno sliko podpovršinskih struktur. V predavanju bo
podan pregled zmožnosti in omejitev optoakustičnega slikanja v bioloških
tkivih, predvsem z vidika kontrasta in prostorske ločljivosti. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

provides high optical contrast without the handicap of poor resolution in
imaging of optically turbid tissues. In biomedical optoacoustics, tissue is
illuminated with short laser pulses. The light is scattered inside the tissue
and heats absorbing structures, such as blood vessels, hidden deeply inside the
tissue. Image contrast is therefore provided by light absorbing chromophores,
either endogenous (such as oxy- or deoxyhemoglobin) or exogenous (e.g. dyes,
nanoparticles or quantum dots). By means of the thermoelastic effect, the
inhomogeneous heating generates pressure transients exactly representing the
absorbing structures. These acoustic transients propagate to the tissue surface
and can be detected with an appropriate ultrasound transducer. In
one-dimensional optoacoustic measurements, time delay between the laser pulse
and detected pressure transient, its amplitude and temporal profile provide
information about the location, strength and spatial dimension of the acoustic
source. Three-dimensional images can be reconstructed by scanning the
transducer. The image quality depends on a number of factors, including the
irradiation geometry and image reconstruction algorithm. The talk will give an
overview of the possibilities and limitations of optoacoustic imaging in turbid
tissues, especially in terms of image contrast and depth resolution. </span></font><span
