摘要: The invention features a system for imaging tissue including (i) source of electromagnetic radiation; (ii) an encasement h plurality acoustic transducers (e.g., at least 128); (iii) support structure having portion holding tissue; and (iv) chamber between the housing coupling medium. In system, radiation from is sufficient to induce thermoacoustic response in positioned structure, are receive ultrasound tissue. also methods using systems.
