Science to Practice: Can Photoacoustic Imaging Be Used to Monitor Tumor Oxygenation and the Effects of Antivascular Chemotherapies?

Rich and Seshadri showed improved quantitative imaging in terms of detection sensitivity with photoacoustic imaging relative to blood oxygenation level–dependent MR imaging, which can be exploited to monitor smaller changes in tissue oxygenation when assessing other chemotherapies or radiation-based treatments.
