Abstract

Endocavity ultrasound (US) imaging is commonly used in gynecology and urology to diagnose challenging genital diseases. The convergence of photoacoustic (PA) imaging with clinical US imaging is actively explored in research due to their compatibility. However, the physical size of the laser delivery unit limits its insertion into confined vaginal or rectal canals. In our study, we performed video-rate endocavity PAUS imaging using a miniaturized probe. This achieved a fine radial resolution of 277 μm and 341 μm, and angular resolution of 1.52° and 1.23°. Multispectral PA imaging allowed quantification of a methylene blue (MB)/indocyanine green (ICG) cocktail ratio. The fast temporal resolution captured ICG infusion kinetics in ex vivo porcine ovary. Finally, we noninvasively imaged the male rat's reproductive system, confirming prostate vessel pulsation via PA and US imaging.
