Photoacoustic imaging systems and methods that allow for the creation of three-dimensional (3D) images of a subject are described herein. The systems include one or more optical fibers attached to an ultrasound transducer. Ultrasonic waves are generated by laser light emitted from the optical fiber(s) and detected by the ultrasound transducer. 3D images are acquired by ultrasound signals from a series of adjacent scan planes or frames that are then stacked together to create 3D volume data.

L'invention porte sur des systèmes et des procédés d'imagerie photoacoustique permettant la création d'images tridimensionnelles d'un sujet. Les systèmes comprennent une ou plusieurs fibres optiques fixées à un transducteur ultrasonore. Des ondes ultrasonores sont générées par lumière laser émise par la ou des fibres optiques et détectées par le transducteur ultrasonore. Des images tridimensionnelles sont acquises par les signaux ultrasonores provenant d'une série de plans de balayage ou trames adjacents, empilés ensuite afin de créer des données tridimensionnelles de volume.
