<abstract>
<p>Photoacoustic imaging is a novel biomedical imaging modality that has emerged over the recent decades. Due to the conversion of optical energy into the acoustic wave, photoacoustic imaging offers high-resolution imaging in depth beyond the optical diffusion limit. Photoacoustic imaging is frequently used in conjunction with ultrasound as a hybrid modality. The combination enables the acquisition of both optical and acoustic contrasts of tissue, providing functional, structural, molecular, and vascular information within the same field of view. In this review, we first described the principles of various photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging techniques and then classified the dual-modal imaging systems based on their preclinical and clinical imaging applications. The advantages of dual-modal imaging were thoroughly analyzed. Finally, the review ends with a critical discussion of existing developments and a look toward the future.</p>

<title>1 Introduction</title>
<p>Medical imaging plays a critical role in various aspects of patient care. Whether it is diagnostic, interventional, or surgical, medical providers rely heavily on imaging technologies to make important decisions at every stage of disease diagnosis and treatment planning. Subsequently, there has been immense innovation to make medical imaging more efficient, effective, and error-free. Imaging technologies are based on exploiting different properties of biological tissue upon its interaction with electromagnetic or acoustic waves. Each imaging modality provides unique and relevant information necessary to understand and interpret different biological contrasts. Researchers in dual-modal imaging systems aim to integrate the contrasts from different modalities for improved disease diagnosis and decision-making. In this article, we focus on one such integration&#x2014;dual-modal imaging with photoacoustic (PA) and ultrasound (US) technologies. Ultrasound (US) imaging is a popular clinical tool that is portable, cost-effective, and provides real-time imaging capabilities. Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is a relatively new method that combines optical absorption and acoustic detection. Different wavelengths can be used to differentiate various tissue chromophores. The main advantage of the PA/US dual-modal imaging is the shared hardware. Both PA and US use ultrasonic transducers for acoustic detection. Thus, existing ultrasound systems can potentially be upgraded to PA/US systems by adding an optical source (laser, LED, etc.), thereby leading to faster clinical translation as opposed to a completely new system.</p>
<p>In the past few years, there are already a few reviews in the field of dual-modal photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B253">Wang et al., 2020</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B258">Wen et al., 2022</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B122">Lee et al., 2023</xref>). However, they typically focused on a very specific area, such as ultrasound guided photoacoustic imaging or clinical translational imaging. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of dual-modal PA/US systems for both preclinical and clinical applications. <xref ref-type="sec" rid="s2">Section 2</xref> provides a brief overview of the fundamental principles of photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging. In <xref ref-type="sec" rid="s3">Section 3</xref>, we review various PA/US systems based on their preclinical and clinical applications. We will explain the current research progress and highlight the crucial methodologies for each research field. <xref ref-type="sec" rid="s4">Section 4</xref> briefly touches upon various advancements in PA and US. The final section also summarizes the benefits of dual-modal configurations and states existing challenges in the area.</p>

<title>2 Principles</title>
<p>Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is a hybrid imaging modality that integrates optical illumination and acoustic detection (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">Beard, 2011a</xref>). In PA imaging, a pulsed laser is used to induce thermal expansion in the tissue, which generates acoustic waves. This acoustic signal is measured with an ultrasound transducer and the initial distribution of light absorption is reconstructed to form an image (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">Attia et al., 2019</xref>). As acoustic waves scatter much less than light in tissue (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B127">Lengenfelder et al., 2019</xref>), PA imaging allows high-resolution imaging in depth beyond the optical scattering limit. When different wavelengths are used, PA can spectrally quantify a wide range of endogenous and exogenous chromophores via their spectral absorption signatures (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B91">Jacques, 2013</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B260">Wu et al., 2014</xref>). Common intrinsic chromophores include hemoglobin, melanin, lipids, and water. Since hemoglobin is one of the major components of blood, PA modality can quantify functional features of vessels such as oxygen saturation (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B263">Xia et al., 2013a</xref>) and blood flow (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B246">Wang et al., 2013</xref>). Moreover, vascular abnormalities are an early indicator of various diseases. Therefore, PA&#x2019;s ability to provide functional information about blood vessels through monitoring hemoglobin makes it a promising technique for a wide range of clinical applications (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B82">Hu and Wang, 2010</xref>). Exogenous chromophores refer to chemical dyes or nanoparticles that can be introduced into the body. They improve PA imaging contrast and/or serve as targeting agents for molecular imaging (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B141">Luke et al., 2012a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B142">Luke et al., 2012b</xref>).</p>
<p>Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) can be majorly classified into three categories based on its applications: photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT), photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) and photoacoustic endoscopy (PAE) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B247">Wang, 2008a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">Beard, 2011a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B250">Wang, 2017</xref>). PA computed tomography (PACT), is based on the reconstruction of acoustic waves generated from the photoacoustic source (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figure 1A</xref>). In general, an unfocused ultrasonic transducer array is scanned over the source to generate an image (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B248">Wang, 2008b</xref>). PA microscopy (PAM), on the other hand, employs raster-scanning of optical and acoustic foci (focused single-element transducer) and forms images directly from acquired depth-resolved signals (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B275">Yao and Wang, 2013</xref>). PAM maximizes its detection sensitivity by confocally aligning its optical illumination and acoustic detection (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figure 1B</xref>). While the axial resolution of PAM is primarily determined by the imaging depth and the frequency response of the ultrasonic transducer, its lateral resolution is determined by the combined point spread function of the dual foci (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B275">Yao and Wang, 2013</xref>). Photoacoustic endoscopy (PAE) is a variation of PAM for internal organ imaging, which uses rotational scanning (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B251">Wang and Hu, 2012</xref>). Detailed reviews of different PA implementations can be found in (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B265">Xia et al., 2014</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B290">Zhou et al., 2016</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B250">Wang, 2017</xref>).</p>

<p>Conventional ultrasound (US) imaging typically operates in reflection or pulse-echo mode. A US image is obtained by transmitting acoustic waves in tissue and detecting reflected echoes to locate the target. As acoustic reflection is induced by impedance mismatch among tissue structures, ultrasound imaging provides insight into tissue morphology and properties. Depending on the application, researchers have combined photoacoustic imaging with various ultrasound-based techniques such as reflection-mode ultrasound, ultrasound computed tomography (USCT), ultrasound elastography, and Doppler ultrasound. Doppler ultrasound utilizes shifts in ultrasound frequencies, caused by the movement of hemoglobin molecules, to quantify the speed and direction of blood flow (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figure 1C</xref>) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B227">Szabo, 2004</xref>). USCT is a transmission-mode approach that can reveal distributions of the speed of sound (SOS) and acoustic attenuation of tissue, leading to more comprehensive tissue characterization (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figure 1D</xref>) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B128">Li et al., 2009</xref>). Ultrasound elastography involves perturbing the tissue using a quasi-static, harmonic, or transient mechanical source and then tracking the internal tissue displacements to deduce the stiffness information (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figure 1E</xref>) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B64">Gennisson et al., 2013</xref>). Similar to PA, ultrasound can also be implemented as ultrasound tomography (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B257">Watson, 2022</xref>), ultrasound microscopy (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B36">Couture et al., 2018</xref>), or ultrasound endoscopy systems (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">Ang et al., 2018</xref>). <xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">Table 1</xref> highlights the key features, imaging depth, and spatial resolution of each modality.</p>

<p>Combining PA and ultrasound imaging is an obvious choice, as most of the equipment remains the same. PA/US dual-modal configurations can provide a more comprehensive evaluation of the target tissue than stand-alone PA or US modality. In the following section, we will review the various PA/US techniques and highlight their applications in the preclinical and clinical space.</p>

<sec id="s3-1">
<title>3.1 Oncology</title>
<p>Cancer is a substantial public health problem worldwide (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B219">Siegel et al., 2019</xref>). Early detection of cancer would significantly increase the success rate of the treatment and patient survival. The analysis of tumor microenvironment can reveal its behavior and growth pattern. One such key feature is tumor angiogenesis, which is the formation of new blood vessels around the tumor region (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B102">Kerbel, 2008</xref>). In addition, most tumors are prone to hypoxia during their growth. It is caused by insufficient blood supply to the tumor region (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B80">Hockel and Vaupel, 2001</xref>). Hypoxia can be: 1) diffusion-limited (permanent hypoxia) in areas far away from blood vessels; or 2) perfusion-limited which is caused by leaky and irregular capillary growth in tumors (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B201">Rofstad et al., 2007</xref>). Morphological features of tumors include stiffness, heterogeneity, anisotropy, etc. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B149">Masuzaki et al., 2007</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B188">Partridge et al., 2010</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B212">Seewaldt, 2014</xref>). While MRI and CT have been widely used in the clinic for cancer imaging, PA/US dual-modal systems have unique advantages due to their non-invasiveness, low cost, and radiation-free nature. Therefore, several groups have used PA/US imaging for different types of cancer applications. <xref ref-type="table" rid="T2">Table 2</xref> summarizes the PA and US characteristics for oncological applications.</p>

<title>3.1.1 Preclinical imaging</title>
<p>Various dual-modal small animal imaging systems have been proposed for pre-clinical cancer imaging and research. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B153">Mer&#x10d;ep et al., 2019</xref> designed a hybrid transmission-reflection optoacoustic ultrasound (TROPUS) system shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Figure 2A</xref>. Transmission USCT provided speed of sound and acoustic attenuation maps, while reflection USCT and PA provided optical absorption and acoustic reflectivity. Overall, this technique revealed vascularization, organ parenchyma, tissue reflectivity, density, and stiffness in live mice (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Figures 2B&#x2013;E</xref>). With this dual-modal approach, results from one modality could be used as an <italic>a priori</italic> knowledge to enhance the reconstruction of another. For instance, the speed of sound maps can be used to enhance PA image reconstruction to render sharper PA features.</p>

<p>To understand the vascular morphology and functionality in the tumor microenvironment, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">Bar-Zion et al., 2016</xref> used dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (DCEUS) and dual-wavelength photoacoustic imaging as a tool to monitor anti-vascular treatment. In different murine tumor models, the DCEUS system detected changes in perfusion using gas-filled microbubbles as acoustic contrast, whereas PA imaging measured oxygenation and hemoglobin levels. Combining the two modalities, viable and necrotic tissue could be distinguished from hemorrhagic regions, resulting from leaky capillaries. However, the system is only capable of 2D imaging with low resolution and poor sO<sub>2</sub> separation for low values.</p>
<p>Besides cancer screening and diagnosis, PA/US can also be used to monitor the response to treatment. Radiation therapy is widely used in cancer treatment which involves inducing cancer cell death by disrupting the DNA via ionizing radiation. Endothelial cell damage within the tumor microvasculature is another effect of radiation (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B62">Garcia-Barros et al., 2003</xref>). Ultrasound-stimulated microbubbles have been demonstrated as radiation enhancers. To investigate the extent of microvascular disruption caused by radiation therapy using US-stimulated microbubbles, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">Briggs et al., 2014</xref> used PA imaging and US power Doppler to study the oxygen saturation and therapy response. PA was used to detect oxygen saturation and power Doppler imaging was used to assess blood flow. In a murine pancreatic model designed to distinguish responders from non-responders to photodynamic therapy, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B145">Mallidi et al., 2015</xref> used US to identify the tumor region and obtain B-scans while multi-wavelength PA to obtain sO<sub>2</sub> images of the tumor in a murine model with glioblastoma. The average oxygen saturation (sO<sub>2</sub>) was calculated before and after therapy to predict tumor reoccurrence.</p>

<p>Breast cancer has the highest mortality rate in cancer-related deaths in women (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B95">Jemal et al., 2011</xref>). To achieve good resolution, deep penetration and large field of view, different groups used different detection geometries, as discussed by <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B173">Nyayapathi and Xia, 2019</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B146">Manohar and Dantuma, 2019</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B40">Das et al., 2021</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B112">Kratkiewicz et al., 2022</xref> have also provided comprehensive reviews on this topic. In most of these systems, PA is used to obtain breast vasculature and oxygen saturation, while US provides tissue morphology. The additional functional information obtained by PA would be useful to assess tumor microenvironment and growth rate, thus reducing unnecessary biopsies. Furthermore, monitoring changes in tumor vasculature can also be a useful tool in monitoring therapy response and provide tailor made treatment plans.</p>
<p>Recently, Seno Medicals received FDA approval for Imagio<sup>&#xae;</sup>, their handheld PA/US imaging system (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B220">Stephens, 2021</xref>). This system provides two modes: 1) US mode for real-time grayscale images, and 2) PA/US mode for functional information overlaid on grayscale US. PA/US mode, which uses dual lasers (755&#xa0;nm and 1,064&#xa0;nm), generates oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin maps as shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Figures 3A&#x2013;C</xref> (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B178">Oraevsky et al., 2018a</xref>). Multicenter clinical trials were conducted in the United States (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B167">Neuschler et al., 2018</xref>) and Netherlands (Maestro) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B152">Menezes et al., 2018</xref>). Results from the trials indicate that the specificity of PA/US was 14.9% higher than US alone, and sensitivity was comparable (PA/US &#x3d; 96%; US &#x3d; 98.6%). Moreover, this PA/US system was able to downgrade (from BI-RADS 4A to 3 or lower; BI-RADS 3 to 2) 34.5% of benign masses and upgrade (from BI-RADS 3&#x2013;4A or higher)) 47% of malignant masses in comparison to US (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B167">Neuschler et al., 2018</xref>).

<p>PA/US tomography systems, when compared to their handheld counterparts, have the advantage of being operator independent. To this date, three dual-modal PA/US breast tomography systems have been developed. First, the Kyoto-Canon PAM-02 system used a 600-element rectangular grid CMUT array for PA acquisition with 2&#xa0;MHz central frequency (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">Asao et al., 2016</xref>). A separate linear array transducer (central frequency: 6&#xa0;MHz) was used to obtain pulse-echo US data. PA was used to generate hemoglobin saturation maps from 756&#xa0;nm to 797&#xa0;nm (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Figure 3B</xref>). Craniocaudal and mediolateral oblique imaging views were obtained. Second, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B179">Oraevsky et al., 2018b</xref> developed and arc-shaped array-based system called LOUISA-3D (laser optoacoustic imaging system assembly) to rotationally scan the breast. The pendant breast is imaged using two wavelengths (757&#xa0;nm and 797&#xa0;nm) to obtain oxygen saturation as well as the hemoglobin map. However, this system used two different transducers for US and PA acquisition, thus the imaging speed is relatively slow. Third, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B172">Nyayapathi et al., 2019</xref> developed a system with two linear arrays to scan the breast in the craniocaudal plane, called the dual-scan mammoscope or DSM (shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Figures 3D&#x2013;F</xref>). The DSM is a dual transducer imaging system that simultaneously acquired PA and US images and therefore obtained naturally co-registered images. The DSM was able to acquire PA features of the tumor region based on the tumor subtype (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B174">Nyayapathi et al., 2021</xref>) (see <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Figure 3G</xref>). In the next iteration (DSM-2), <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B288">Zheng et al., 2021</xref> improved resolution and incorporated quasi-static ultrasound elastography for better tissue characterization. However, with single wavelength illumination, this system is only able to obtain the total hemoglobin map.</p>

<title>3.1.2.2 Thyroid cancer</title>
<p>As thyroid nodules are detected in about 60% of healthy subjects, the primary goal in screening for thyroid cancer is to detect thyroid cancer accurately and avoid unnecessary biopsies (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B65">Gharib et al., 2016</xref>). <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B274">Yang et al., 2017</xref> compared PA/US imaging of thyroid nodules to color Doppler ultrasound. In comparison to color Doppler, PA could image blood vessels with slow blood flow speed and provide functional information. However, along with penetration depth, another limitation for this study was acoustic reflection artifacts due to impedance mismatch in the trachea region. Another PA/US system was developed by <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B106">Kim et al., 2021</xref> to image human thyroid nodules in real-time with the goal of reducing unnecessary biopsies. Multispectral PA imaging (690&#x2013;930&#xa0;nm) was performed to assess oxygen saturation along with B-mode US imaging. Also, based on the American Thyroid Association (ATA) guidelines and this multiparametric PA/US analysis, a new classification method was developed with about 40% greater specificity. However, due to carotid pulsation, breathing and other movements, motion artifacts were unavoidable.</p>

<title>3.1.2.3 Ovarian cancer</title>
<p>Another area of clinical interest is ovarian cancer, as it is the most lethal gynecological cancer [ref]. Most diagnosed women are already at the late stages of cancer due to a lack of proper early screening procedures (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">Clarke-Pearson, 2009</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B233">Torre et al., 2018</xref>). Various groups have made significant contributions to this field (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B291">Zhu, 2022</xref>). <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">Amidi et al., 2019</xref> developed a PA/US imaging system for ovarian lesions in humans. Using a transvaginal probe, pulse-echo US provided the morphological information, while PA provided functional information of the ovarian lesions. PA/US images were co-registered and benign ovaries were differentiated from patients with ovarian cancer using a generalized linear model and SVM (support vector machine). PA features (total hemoglobin, etc.) were added to improve classification results. However, a larger sample size is needed to strengthen the analysis.</p>
<p>Several groups are developing PA/US imaging systems to address other types of cancer as well. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B111">Kothapalli et al., 2019</xref> developed a transrectal US and PA imaging system (TRUSPA) for prostate cancer imaging (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B208">Schr&#xf6;der et al., 2009</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B55">Ferlay et al., 2015</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">Agrawal et al., 2020</xref>).

<title>3.2 Brain imaging</title>
<p>The brain has various functions, such as maintaining autonomic functions, delivering sensory information, and conducting motor control, so brain-related diseases can severely affect essential body functions. Various imaging techniques have been proposed to reveal the disease-induced pathological changes of the cerebral vasculature. However, existing imaging approaches have their limitations, such as small FOV (microscopic system), poor spatial resolution (non-invasive optical modalities), low sensitivity to cellular events (MRI and CT), and low spatial resolution [positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)] (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B195">Razansky et al., 2021</xref>). Thus, photoacoustic has attracted increased attention because of its ability to conduct non-invasive functional imaging with high resolution and deep penetration. Applications of PA/US brain imaging include functional and molecular imaging, which allows a better understanding of brain functions and monitoring of drug delivery procedures. Furthermore, the anatomic information obtained through the US can improve the performance of PA in different aspects, including signal segmentation, focus adjustment, and the application of contrast agents for longitudinal imaging. All those applications will be covered in this section. <xref ref-type="table" rid="T3">Table 3</xref> summarizes the PA and US characteristics for brain imaging applications.</p>

<title>3.2.1 Preclinical imaging</title>
<p>Several research groups have made significant advancements in functional brain imaging with PA/US microscopy (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B170">Ning et al., 2015a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B196">Rebling et al., 2018a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B50">Estrada et al., 2020a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B133">Li et al., 2022</xref>). As shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Figure 4A</xref>, PA/US microscopy involves a confocally aligned focused laser beam and ultrasonic transducer for co-registered high-frequency (30&#x2013;35&#xa0;MHz) imaging. This modality utilizes a laser wavelength of 532&#xa0;nm for vessel mapping (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B133">Li et al., 2022</xref>). To provide additional functional information, many research groups have incorporated another wavelength in the range of 565&#x2013;595&#xa0;nm for spectral unmixing (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B170">Ning et al., 2015a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B196">Rebling et al., 2018a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B50">Estrada et al., 2020a</xref>).</p>

<p>One of the biggest challenges faced by stand-alone PA modality for brain imaging is the inability to differentiate signals generated by the brain from those originating from the skull (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B168">Nie et al., 2012</xref>). PA/US modality overcomes this limitation by utilizing the US-provided anatomical information for vascular segmentation, which can be accomplished by extracting the maximum signal in each A-line to map the surface contour of the skull (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B170">Ning et al., 2015a</xref>) or by combining complementary information from dual-modal imaging to estimate skull thickness and separate calvaria and cerebral vasculature networks (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B196">Rebling et al., 2018a</xref>). Furthermore, the US-provided anatomical information enables dynamic adjustment of the PAM focus. By focusing the PAM on the target cortical vasculature, the team reached a remarkable 2&#xa0;&#x3bc;m lateral resolution on the uneven brain surface, allowing for the distinction of single capillaries (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B170">Ning et al., 2015a</xref>).</p>
<p>The PA/US modality integrates multispectral imaging, vessel segmentation, and dynamic focus adjustment techniques to access functional parameters of the mouse brain at the microvascular level. Experimental studies on mice have confirmed the efficacy of PA/US microscopy in multi-parametric transcranial imaging, including measurements of total hemoglobin concentration (CHb), oxygen saturation of hemoglobin (sO<sub>2</sub>), cerebral blood flow (CBF), and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B170">Ning et al., 2015a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B196">Rebling et al., 2018a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B50">Estrada et al., 2020a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B133">Li et al., 2022</xref>). <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Figure 4B</xref> illustrates an overlaid PA/US image with US-obtained anatomical information and the corresponding vasculature obtained through PA. Subsequent studies have employed the PA/US modality with various algorithms to track changes in the morphology of vascular structures for longitudinal imaging. Potential applications of this system include monitoring the recovery of supplemental vessels in calvarial bone marrow following radiation exposure (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B50">Estrada et al., 2020a</xref>), as well as tracking abnormalities in bone vascular structures during skull bone growth in mice, which is an indicator of diseases like osteoarthritis and osteoporosis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B133">Li et al., 2022</xref>).</p>
<p>Another application to aid in PA modality is drug delivery and pharmacokinetic monitoring. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is formed by the tight junctions of endothelial cells that separate the central nervous from the brain. The BBB shields the body from pathogens and other harmful substances but also makes pharmaceutical treatment and contrast-agent-added brain imaging challenging (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B293">Zlokovi&#x107; et al., 1985</xref>). An earlier study demonstrated that the BBB influenced the performance of PA in longitudinal imaging by clearing the injected contrast agent in a short period (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">Figure 5A</xref>) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B124">Leng et al., 2019</xref>). Incorporating the acoustic technique can overcome this limit through the transcranial-focused ultrasound (TUS) BBB-open procedure. This procedure utilizes a low-frequency (&#x3c;1&#xa0;MHz) focused transducer with a low f-number setting, such as 1, to traverse the skull and create localized disruption, thereby opening the BBB barrier (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B77">Hartman et al., 2019</xref>). As shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">Figure 5B</xref>, combining the TUS opening procedure and contrast agents enables PAM to visualize brain tumors at late/early stages with a superior signal-to-background ratio (15.4 and 7.2, respectively) compared to MRI (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B72">Guo et al., 2017</xref>). This approach also allows for real-time imaging of individual plaques and proteins (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B77">Hartman et al., 2019</xref>). While low frequency allows TUS to transfer through the skull, it affects the system&#x2019;s capability to perform targeting imaging (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B34">Constans et al., 2017</xref>). A more advanced mechanical setup (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">Figure 5C</xref>) was proposed to address this issue (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B49">Estrada et al., 2020b</xref>). The system contains a 512-element spherical transducer with a radius curvature of 4&#xa0;cm, a covering angle of 140&#xb0;, and an adjustable transmission delay that allows for a 5.5&#xa0;ns time resolution. Together, these features optimize the focusing capacity of the system close to the diffraction limit for highly selective imaging, and the large covering angle also makes real-time volumetric PA images across the entire murine brain possible.</p>

<p>Microscopic modalities in brain imaging face significant limitations in penetration depth and acquisition time. Current literature indicates a maximum penetration depth of approximately 6&#xa0;mm, while the largest field of view (FoV) of 7 &#xd7; 7&#xa0;mm<sup>2</sup> requires several minutes to cover with a micro-meter level step size. These constraints pose challenges in capturing quick functional signals and reducing motion artifacts during clinical trials. Although tomographic configurations have addressed the FoV challenge to some extent (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B49">Estrada et al., 2020b</xref>), the acoustic attenuation and aberration caused by the human skull remain unresolved. However, a recent study proposed by Na et al. suggested a potential solution to this issue by utilizing numerical skull models to correct skull-induced acoustic aberration (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B159">Na et al., 2022a</xref>). The team stated that a signal-to-noise ratio of 77&#xa0;at a depth of around 10&#xa0;mm below the cortical surface is theoretically achievable. Recently, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B230">Tang et al., 2023</xref> used a spherically focused 2D array for combined PA and ULM imaging of the brain. The deep vascular structures obtained from ULM can be overlaid on top of the functional PA image for comprehensive study of the brain function (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B48">Eisenstein, 2023</xref>)</p>
<p>Given the comprehensive insights provided by the materials in this section, we believe the future directions in clinical brain imaging should emphasize the incorporation of acoustic imaging techniques into existing PA tomographic configurations (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B42">Demene et al., 2017</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B90">Imbault et al., 2017</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B161">Na and Wang, 2021</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B160">Na et al., 2022b</xref>). This integration provides several advantages, including improved signal discrimination, increased spatial resolution, microvascular-level functional imaging, and drug delivery capabilities.

<title>3.3 Cardiology and endovascular applications</title>
<p>Atherosclerosis, the thickening of the arterial wall caused by the accumulation of cholesterol, lipids, and other constituents, is the leading cause of cardiovascular death and disease. A blockage in blood flow is caused by blood clots formed by vulnerable plaques rupturing from the arterial wall. These plaques are non-obstructive lesions with an elevated risk of breaking down and may cause fatal cardiac events (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B199">Richardson et al., 1989</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B51">Falk et al., 1995</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B206">Schaar et al., 2004</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B241">Virmani et al., 2005</xref>). Plaque morphology and composition are important diagnostic features for cardiac intervention and subsequent treatment (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B110">Kolodgie et al., 2001</xref>). Therefore, it is essential to identify and monitor potentially vulnerable areas to prevent and monitor coronary disease progression. Dual-modal intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and intravascular photoacoustic (IVPA) imaging have made notable contributions to cardiac imaging (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B242">Wang et al., 2010a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B101">Karpiouk et al., 2010</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B93">Jansen et al., 2014a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B284">Zhang et al., 2014</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B87">Hui et al., 2016</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B239">van Soest et al., 2017</xref>). IVUS/IVPA together is powerful for analyzing atherosclerotic plaques. IVUS differentiates tissues as fibrotic, necrotic, lipidic, and calcified. IVPA provides details of the chemical compositions of vulnerable plaques (see <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F6">Figures 6A,B</xref>) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B243">Wang et al., 2010b</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B216">Shin et al., 2011</xref>).

<p>IVUS/IVPA was proposed for quantifying perivascular adipose tissue (pVAT), a known symptom of early atherosclerosis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B240">Verhagen and Visseren, 2011</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B123">Lee et al., 2013</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B151">McKenney-Drake et al., 2017</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B229">Tanaka and Sata, 2018</xref>), as well as plaque burden for early assessment of the disease. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B109">Kole et al., 2019</xref> compared IVUS/IVPA (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F6">Figure 6A</xref>) with dual-modal near-infrared spectroscopy and IVUS (NIRS/IVUS) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B63">Gardner et al., 2008</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B144">Madder et al., 2016</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B209">Schuurman et al., 2018</xref>) as both NIRS and IVPA are capable of quantifying lipid cores. IVUS/IVPA was able to detect early stages of atherosclerosis in swine <italic>in vivo</italic> based on pVAT, a known cause of atherosclerosis. In terms of depth resolution, IVUS/IVPA outperformed NIRS/IVUS by their ability to localize the lesions. Using IVUS and spectral IVPA at two spectral bands of 1.2 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F6">Figures 6B&#x2013;E</xref>) and 1.7&#xa0;&#x3bc;m (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F6">Figures 6F&#x2013;H</xref>), Jansen <italic>et al.</italic> demonstrated lipid detection and the results match with histology stains (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F6">Figures 6I&#x2013;K</xref>) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B94">Jansen et al., 2014b</xref>). The results indicate that the 1.2&#xa0;&#x3bc;m wavelength allows the differentiation of lipids from the arterial wall (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">Allen and Beard, 2009</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B92">Jansen et al., 2011</xref>). The 1.7&#xa0;&#x3bc;m wavelength provides higher sensitivity to lipid absorption with lower pulse energy (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B252">Wang et al., 2012</xref>). Plaque lipids (cholesterol) and peri-adventitial lipids were differentiated. However, there is a strong calcium absorption signal at both wavelength ranges.</p>
<p>To obtain multiple lipid components and evaluate lipid concentration, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B125">Leng et al., 2021</xref> combined PA/US imaging in a 0.9&#xa0;mm catheter that performed 360-degree rotation. PA spectroscopy imaging with 11 wavelengths (1,690&#xa0;nm&#x2013;1778&#xa0;nm) was performed. The correlation coefficient was calculated between the experimental PA spectrum and the optical absorption spectrum of lipids to indicate regions of increased lipid deposition. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">Abran et al., 2014</xref> also designed a PA and US-based catheter, which was also tested for intravascular elastography on phantom.</p>
<p>The limitations of IVUS/IVPA imaging are the slow imaging speeds of &#x2212;5 frames per second and the lack of real-time capabilities. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B86">Hui et al., 2017</xref> addressed this issue by proposing a real-time IVUS/IVPA imaging system with a frame rate of &#x2212;25 frames per second, comparable to commercial IVUS and NIRS/IVUS systems. This was achieved by utilizing a 2&#xa0;kHz repetition rate master oscillator power amplifier-pumped OPO (optical parametric oscillator) laser. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B236">VanderLaan et al., 2017</xref> also proposed a real-time system with online image processing and display capability of &#x2265;30&#xa0;Hz frame rates.</p>
<p>IVUS/IVPA technology needs to be thoroughly tested in small-animal atherosclerotic models before moving into clinical space. Along with real-time imaging capabilities, other factors that require improvement are catheter size and the sheath properties. Real-time visualization of the catheter tip is necessary for the operator to identify the correct region of interest. Furthermore, the sheath should be optically and acoustically transparent in the ideal situation.</p>

<p>Ultrasound has long been the modality of choice to monitor fetal and maternal health during gestation and detect any complications or developmental defects. However, US alone does not provide functional information, which may be essential (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B119">Lawrence et al., 2019</xref>). Functional changes in the development of an embryo are essential to understanding developmental abnormalities during pregnancy. Several complications of pregnancy, including genetic defects, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, or teratogens, can be assessed by studying functional parameters in the conceptus or placental hemoglobin. Furthermore, environmental factors that contribute to toxicity, such as pollution, radiation, and heavy metals, are also leading to an increase in embryonic disorders. These can also be monitored by studying oxygen saturation and hemoglobin concentration. Additionally, more than 50% of congenital heart defects are missed with US imaging (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B232">Tegnander and Eik-Nes, 2006</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B44">DeVore et al., 2017</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B45">Dhillon et al., 2020</xref>). Therefore, functional information can be crucial in monitoring both fetal and maternal health during pregnancy. Hence, there is a need to develop imaging methods that are noninvasive and sensitive, as well as provide functional information. Combining PA and US modalities can fill this gap. In this section, recent advances in this field are discussed. <xref ref-type="table" rid="T5">Table 5</xref> summarizes the PA and US characteristics for obstetrics.</p>

<p>Preeclampsia, which has led to numerous pregnancy-related deaths, is primarily caused by placental ischemia due to reduced uteroplacental perfusion (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B67">Gilbert et al., 2009</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B59">Fujii et al., 2017</xref>).

PA images obtained at 690, 808, and 950&#xa0;nm were obtained and co-registered with B-mode US images.

<title>3.5 Joint imaging</title>
<p>Joint disorder refers to a set of chronic arthritic conditions associated with considerable pain, mobility impairment, and reduced quality of life. Among joint diseases, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis are the two representative arthritis diseases, with osteoarthritis being the most common form of arthritis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">Barbour et al., 2017</xref>), and arthritis being the leading cause of disability in the last 15&#xa0;years (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B277">Yelin et al., 2016</xref>). The adaptation of high-frequency gray-scale B-mode in conjunction with power Doppler allows visualization of anatomic structures and abnormal blood flow toward arthritis diagnosis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B207">Schmidt, 2007</xref>). However, due to the principle of Doppler imaging, the US-PD system is angle-dependent and more sensitive to fast blood flow in relatively large vessels, whereas blood flow in smaller capillaries has a closer correlation with early arthritis symptoms (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B69">Goldie, 1969</xref>). PA/US thus has been studied as a complement to US-PD for imaging small vessels. <xref ref-type="table" rid="T6">Table 6</xref> summarizes the PA and US characteristics for joint imaging.</p>

<p>Wang et al. proposed a microscopic-based PA/US system for joint evaluation. The system used a 532&#xa0;nm laser wavelength and a central frequency of 25&#xa0;MHz to image the mouse knee joint (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B256">Wang et al., 2023a</xref>). The results of coaxial dual-modal imaging showed that the US can effectively visualize the synovial erosion area as a hypoechoic region within the tibiofemoral tendon-tibia-femur (TTF) complex. On the other side, the PA signal generated in the same region can be correlated with the grades of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).</p>
<p>Despite a relatively rapid scanning speed of 10&#xa0;mm/s, one of the limitations of this system is its limited penetration depth (1.5&#x2013;2.1&#xa0;mm) compared to other configurations. Moreover, factors such as the cost and ease of use hinder the widespread clinical utility and acceptance of PA/US microscopy. As a result, the application of PA/US microscopy for joint evaluation is restricted to mouse models. In contrast, PAT configuration has gained prominence in clinical research due to its superior penetration depth. The following section covers the ongoing exploration of human joint experiments utilizing dual-modal tomographic platforms.</p>

<title>3.5.2 Clinical imaging</title>
<p>Based on the system configurations, joint imaging setups using PA/US tomography can be divided into linear arrays (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B267">Xu et al., 2013</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B39">Daoudi et al., 2014</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B280">Yuan et al., 2014</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B97">Jo et al., 2017</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B38">Daoudi et al., 2021</xref>) and ring arrays (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B154">Mercep et al., 2015</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B237">van Es et al., 2015</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B138">Liu et al., 2016</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B176">Oeri et al., 2017</xref>). Linear array configurations perform joint evaluation by placing the hand-hold transducer in direct contact with the skin over the targeting area (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F8">Figure 8A</xref>) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B39">Daoudi et al., 2014</xref>). Linear arrays offer a comprehensive visualization of the joint, including the skin, blood vessels, tendons, and underlying bone (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F8">Figure 8B</xref>). The clinical experiment verified that the acquired PA signal around the US-acquired phalanges structure can be used for assessing inflammation-induced hyperemia (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B97">Jo et al., 2017</xref>). A later study adapted a central frequency of 21&#xa0;MHz for PA to visualize capillaries and a frequency of 40&#xa0;MHz for the US to track sub-millimeter skin thickness in superficial regions (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B177">Oh et al., 2006</xref>). The resulting multi-spectral PA/US images provide accurate quantification of the target joint, including capillary density (PA), skin thickness (ultrasound), and oxygen saturation inside the nail region. These findings stated the potential of using specific central frequencies to target distinct features. Additionally, real-time dual-modal imaging has been successfully achieved by employing a specially designed GPU-compatible back-projection algorithm (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B254">Wang et al., 2016</xref>).</p>

<p>One limitation of the linear transducer is the limited view angle. Cross-sectional ring-shaped configurations have been investigated to address this issue (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B154">Mercep et al., 2015</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B237">van Es et al., 2015</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B138">Liu et al., 2016</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B176">Oeri et al., 2017</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B74">Guo et al., 2019</xref>) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F8">Figure 8C</xref>). For cross-sectional imaging, the finger was placed at the center of the ring-shaped transducer array and immersed into the water tank. Ring arrays generate images that cover the full cross-sectional depth of the joint. With hardware advancements (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B176">Oeri et al., 2017</xref>) and improved reconstruction methodologies (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B154">Mercep et al., 2015</xref>), Oeri et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B176">Oeri et al., 2017</xref>) achieved real-time finger imaging with full-angle coverage. The array can further move along the finger for volumetric imaging. Stacking images along the scanning direction yields a volumetric imaging window of 20 &#xd7; 20 &#xd7; 20&#xa0;mm<sup>3</sup>, with isotropic in-plane image resolutions of 150&#xa0;&#x3bc;m and 160&#xa0;&#xb5;m for PA and US, respectively. <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F8">Figure 8D</xref> shows coronal and axial images of the figure acquired by such a system. The cross-sectional PA/US image reveals the finger tendon, bone, tissue surface, upper aponeurosis, and finger vasculature structures. These characteristics can indicate rheumatoid arthritis symptoms such as edema, joint effusion, and bone erosions for joint diagnosis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B237">van Es et al., 2015</xref>).</p>
<p>Another method to achieve ring-shaped imaging is to employ a beam splitter in conjunction with numerous fibers to evenly split the emitted laser beam at 360&#xb0; and conduct illumination (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B138">Liu et al., 2016</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B74">Guo et al., 2019</xref>). The PA image area can be used to estimate corresponding joint size and angiogenesis to supplement the US anatomic information for joint evaluation. The human experiment validated the system&#x2019;s ability to track rheumatoid arthritis progression and recovery. However, the system&#x2019;s resolution of 80 and 600&#xa0;&#xb5;m along lateral and axial directions prevent the differentiation of small vessels and capillaries in the cross-section images (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B74">Guo et al., 2019</xref>).</p>
<p>Researchers have also investigated the performance of functional PA/US for joint evaluation. Previous preclinical studies have shown that biomarkers, including hyperemia location, hypoxia in synovial tissue, and the number of high amplitude PA pixels could be used to diagnose joint disease (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B97">Jo et al., 2017</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B235">van den Berg et al., 2017</xref>). Zhao et al. developed a dual-modal system diagnosis protocol that integrates those factors into a novel parameter named PA &#x2b; sO<sub>2</sub> pattern, and the combined parameter&#x2019;s performance was validated in human experiments (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B287">Zhao et al., 2021a</xref>). The proposed parameter was compared against standard clinical scores, including the simplified disease activity index (SDAI), clinical disease activity index (CDAI), and the disease activity score, in 28 joints (DAS28). Statistical analysis reveals that the PA &#x2b; sO<sub>2</sub> pattern is highly correlated with those parameters of the targeted joint and outperforms the traditional power Doppler in certain joints due to its greater sensitivity to small vessels. Assessing sO<sub>2</sub> concentration can also help with patient treatment because hypoxia is associated with higher visual analog scale (VAS) and patient&#x2019;s global activity (PGA) scores.</p>
<p>The application of PA/US in joint evaluation has been extensively studied with various configurations. While circular scanning configurations generally outperform linear arrays in terms of imaging angle and penetration depth, the implementation of this approach in clinical practice is hindered by the impracticality of the bulky water tank. In contrast, linear transducers offer advantages for clinical translation due to their compatibility with existing commercial ultrasound imaging units. The penetration depth is the major limit of linear configurations that hindered its applications. Clinical research on linear arrays has primarily focused on finger evaluation, with limited exploration of larger joints. Toward this issue, Jo et al. stated in their study that a wavelength around 580&#xa0;nm is adequate for PA diagnosis of human hand joints, and wavelengths in the optical spectrum of 650&#x2013;950&#xa0;nm are theoretically sufficient for larger joints such as the ankle (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B267">Xu et al., 2013</xref>). Further research is necessary to provide experimental support toward this expectation. Another potential solution worth exploring involves the rotation of the transducer. The study proposed by Francis et al. demonstrated a linear configuration by rotating the linear transducer and employing repeated side illumination with a calculated number of angular views to achieve full-view tomographic imaging (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B56">Francis et al., 2020</xref>). This innovative approach holds promise for achieving significant penetration depth within a clinical setting using a linear setup.</p>
<p>Finally, achieving higher imaging quality is paramount for PA/US to potentially replace well-established clinical imaging methods such as MRI (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B286">Zhao et al., 2021b</xref>). There is existing research that holds promise for future implementation in PA/US. In terms of hardware, the use of LEDs as the PA light source has been investigated as a means to identify inflammatory arthritis with increased system portability (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B98">Jo et al., 2021</xref>). As for image reconstruction, efforts are made to improve image quality by mitigating artifacts stemming from acoustic reflection by bone surfaces (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">Biswas et al., 2015</xref>) or by estimating the initial pressure distribution and speed-of-sound distribution (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B150">Matthews and Anastasio, 2017a</xref>). It is necessary to explore the performance of both reconstruction algorithms in patient imaging with PA/US, as it may prove critical for the clinical advancement of the PA/US modality.</p>

<p>While skin diseases are often overlooked in terms of health priorities, they affect 27% of the population in the US (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">Barbour et al., 2017</xref>) and are the fourth leading cause of non-fatal disability (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B214">Seth et al., 2017</xref>). The most common method for skin diagnosis is a skin biopsy. However, due to its limited field of view, reliance on lesion age, and invasive nature, alternative approaches are actively explored (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B129">Li et al., 2021</xref>). PA/US has the potential to meet this clinical need. <xref ref-type="table" rid="T7">Table 7</xref> summarizes the PA and US characteristics for skin imaging.</p>

<title>3.6.1 Preclinical imaging</title>
<p>Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer, and sonography can be used to diagnose skin cancer by measuring tumor-induced melanoma thickening (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B189">Pellacani et al., 2005</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B211">Scotto di Santolo et al., 2015</xref>). However, because of the low contrast in the superficial region, this method shows poor accuracy in early-stage melanoma (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B226">Swetter, 2003</xref>). On the other hand, while PA is effective at characterizing superficial vasculature changes (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B177">Oh et al., 2006</xref>), it is incapable of deep penetration due to high light attenuation. To overcome the limitations of stand-alone imaging modality, multiple PA/US preclinical models have been proposed for a comprehensive diagnosis of melanoma by monitoring different tumor features (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B254">Wang et al., 2016</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B245">Wang et al., 2021</xref>). Microscopic PA/US imaging is well suited for small animal imaging as it offers high spatial resolution. As shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F9">Figure 9</xref>, the fused PA image obtained with visible and NIR light gives accurate volumetric mapping toward the melanoma entity and surrounding tissue, and the US allows more accurate localization of tissue boundaries. Moreover, the near-infrared light increased the penetration depth of PA to 8mm, which facilitates the correlation between PA and US modalities for more precise volumetric localization of the melanin boundary (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B245">Wang et al., 2021</xref>). Despite all these advantages, the acquisition time required by existing configurations lasts from several minutes (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B254">Wang et al., 2016</xref>) to close to an hour (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B245">Wang et al., 2021</xref>). As a result, the application of PAM for melanoma diagnosis remains in animal models so far.</p>

<p>On the other hand, researchers also constructed novel contrast agents that improve the PA/US signal for melanoma imaging (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B134">Li et al., 2018</xref>). The melanoma-targeting nanoprobe is encapsulated in liquid perfluorohexane, a substance that can be vaporized and transformed from droplets to microbubbles via optical irradiation. The nanoprobe is applied to the tumor-bearing mouse, followed by dual-modal transducer imaging with a central frequency of 21&#xa0;MHz. The team revealed a progressive increase in PA and US signals due to the applied nanoprobe and the micro-bubbles generated from the light-excited nanoprobe. Thus, they verified the nanoprobe&#x2019;s capability to enhance the contrasts between tumor-induced vessel structures and corresponding anatomical structures.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="s3-6-2">
<title>3.6.2 Clinical imaging</title>
<p>As stated in the preclinical section, the existing microscopic-based PA/US system for skin diagnosis is limited by the acquisition time and unsuitable for clinical imaging. So, in human imaging studies, linear-array-based PA/US systems are used to increase imaging speed (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">Breathnach et al., 2015a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">Breathnach et al., 2018</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B181">Park et al., 2021a</xref>). Combining PA and US modalities enables comprehensive diagnosis of melanoma. As shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F10">Figure 10</xref>, PA image reveals the feeding vessels, while US assesses the tumor extension in the depth direction. Furthermore, one of the studies confirms that melanoma-generated PA signals mainly came from wavelengths of 800 and 1,064&#xa0;nm, while signals generated from the interface between melanoma and normal tissue mainly came from 680&#xa0;nm excitation (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B287">Zhao et al., 2021a</xref>). Taking advantage of this characteristic, spectrally unmixed PA gives a precise measurement of the shape and location of the melanoma (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F10">Figure 10C</xref>). Combining the structural and functional information facilitates more accurate surgical excision targeting different stages of the disease. Furthermore, the research proposed by Park et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B181">Park et al., 2021a</xref>) achieved a penetration depth of 9&#xa0;mm so that it is possible to analyze the boundary architecture of the melanoma entity and correlate it with the sub-type of melanoma.</p>

<p>Aside from imaging the melanoma entity, the PA/US modality is also studied as an alternative approach to tracking melanoma metastasizes in regional lymph nodes. Clinical experiment (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B41">Dean-Ben and Razansky, 2021</xref>) has verified the PA/US configuration&#x2019;s potential to replace the conventional radioactive lymphoscintigraphic imaging approach (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B221">Stoffels et al., 2019</xref>). A following study proposed by Stoffels et al. shows that PA/US can achieve comparable melanoma metastasizes detection against the lymphoscintigraphic, which is the clinical gold standard, with a maximum penetration depth of 5&#xa0;cm (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B222">Stoffels et al., 2015</xref>). The imaging results obtained from 20 patients reveal a system <italic>in vivo</italic> sensitivity of 100%, which outperformed the traditional lymphoscintigraphic, and the anatomic information provided by the US also paved the way for PA/US-guided minimally invasive surgery in the future. Due to the high false positive rate caused by the presence of other optical absorbers in the tissue, the team reported the system specificity to be 48.6%. However, the team believes incorporating a contrast agent could potentially solve this problem in the future.</p>
<p>Also aiming to assist melanoma diagnosis, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B60">Galanzha et al., 2019</xref> proposed a novel approach utilizing PA technology to detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) disseminating from the primary tumor into the bloodstream, which can lead to early metastases and blood clot formation. The team used the PA modality to visualize the cell in conjunction with the vessel structure provided by the US to anatomically localize the CTCs. Experiment results revealed the relationship between the CTCs flowing velocity and position within the vessels. However, the examination of the approach varies from 10 to 20&#xa0;s to 1&#xa0;h for patients with different CTCs concentrations, making it unsuitable for individuals with a lower CT concentration.</p>
<p>Finally, one non-cancer-related PA/US clinical skin imaging used PAM and high-frequency ultrasound to characterize skin aging, featured with increased skin vessels (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B203">Saijo et al., 2019</xref>). The team has confirmed that the system can achieve a spatial resolution of 24 &#xd7; 16&#xa0;&#xb5;m in horizontal and axial directions, with a penetration depth of 2&#xa0;mm to visualize superficial microvascular structures and oxygen saturation status with the multi-spectral PA modality. The US modality, on the other hand, can provide the corresponding tissue structures across the dermis layer.</p>

<title>3.7 Dental applications</title>
<p>Oral diseases pose a significant global public health challenge due to their widespread occurrence, negative impact on the quality of life, and the considerable resources needed for treatment (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B215">Sheiham, 2005</xref>). Among the oral conditions that affect both the hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity, periodontal disease, tooth decay, and oral cancer are the most prevalent (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B54">Feldchtein et al., 1998</xref>). Despite more than 60% of adults regularly undergoing dental evaluations each year, current imaging methods have certain limitations when it comes to the early detection of oral diseases (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B175">O Connor et al., 2015</xref>). Previous research has indicated that for existing imaging modalities, CT has limited precision, MRI lacks sufficient spatial resolution, wide-field autofluorescence imaging suffers from low diagnostic specificity, and dental X-ray exposes patients to ionizing radiation (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B191">Pierce et al., 2012</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B205">Sarrion Perez et al., 2015</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B88">Hwang et al., 2018</xref>). Recognizing the necessity to evaluate features from various hard and soft tissues, several dual-modal imaging approaches have been developed to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of oral diseases (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B85">Hucker et al., 2008</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B169">Niedre and Ntziachristos, 2008</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B100">Kalchenko et al., 2011</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B164">Nam et al., 2012</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B120">Lee et al., 2018</xref>). One such approach is the utilization of the dual-modal PA/US, which is concluded in this section. <xref ref-type="table" rid="T8">Table 8</xref> summarizes the PA and US characteristics for dental imaging.</p>

<p>PA/US has been investigated for clinical dental implant testing (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B120">Lee et al., 2018</xref>).

<p>The integration of Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) configuration toward PA/US modality has been investigated by Fatakdawala et al. for carcinoma diagnosis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B52">Fatakdawala et al., 2013a</xref>). The tri-modal system incorporated a ring ultrasonic transducer attached to 16 optical fibers for the PA/US subsystem and another fiber bundle extended from the middle for the co-registered FLIM imaging. The team examined the performance of the system with twenty-four male, golden/Syrian hamsters. The FLIM provides metabolic information by differentiating normal tissue from cancerous tissue based on differences in fluorescence signatures owing to changes in collagen content. This innovative tri-modal design offers the potential to identify regions of high metabolic activity in tumors using FLIM and further characterize these regions using PA and US to assess blood vessel density and structural changes in the surrounding tissue, thereby providing a comprehensive assessment of tissue structure and function.</p>

<p>While the previously proposed dual-modal imaging configuration is too bulky (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B52">Fatakdawala et al., 2013a</xref>), <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B73">Guo et al., 2018</xref> construct a compact transducer probe for dual-modal carcinoma diagnosis inside the human oral cavity.

Human imaging outcomes revealed that the configuration could generate 3D images of vasculature and tongue structures with a penetration depth of 5.5&#xa0;mm, allowing tumor detection in the flattened tongue. However, the calculated spatial resolution of the system was limited to 420 and 340&#xa0;&#xb5;m for the PA and US modalities, which makes distinguishing smaller vessels challenging.</p>

<p>In addition to its applications in oral cancer imaging, the PA/US modality has also been investigated for periodontal applications. The current methods used to evaluate periodontitis often involve invasive imaging of pocket depth using a metallic probe to evaluate the destruction of the supporting structures of the teeth (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B103">Khan and Cabanilla, 2009</xref>). Given that deeper periodontal probing depths and gingival inflammation are the most common biomarkers of the disease, PA/US is investigated as a potential non-invasive approach. To address the lack of blood supply in the periodontal site, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B57">Fu et al., 2022</xref> explored the usage of a contrast agent derived from cuttlefish ink to distinguish the periodontal site from the surrounding soft tissue for functional imaging. The feasibility of this contrast agent was verified in human teeth located at the distobuccal, mesiobuccal, and buccal sites (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B156">Moore et al., 2018</xref>). Subsequently, the team constructed a toothbrush-shaped compact probe with a central frequency of 19&#xa0;MHz to achieve full-mouth coverage, including the posterior teeth (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B103">Khan and Cabanilla, 2009</xref>). To mitigate motion artifacts caused by the handheld configuration, the researchers also devised a modality-independent neighborhood descriptor (MIND)-based image registration technique, reducing motion-induced errors by a factor of ten (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B158">Mozaffarzadeh et al., 2021</xref>). Patient imaging studies showed that the PA/US images can reveal full-pocket geometry with co-registered anatomic information (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F12">Figure 12B</xref>). The contrast agent provides an SNR higher than 10&#xa0;dB at 11&#xa0;mm, which is more than sufficient for periodontal pockets (typically around 4&#xa0;mm in depth). The PA/US method can predict gingival inflammation by exploiting the PA signal intensity, and the comparison between the US image and the conventional invasive methodology demonstrates good agreement (less than 7% difference).</p>
<p>PA/US oral imaging has been investigated for different applications in preclinical and clinical studies. The studies covered in the preclinical section are still in the early stages but hold great potential for clinical studies in the future. For implant examination, further investigation is necessary to evaluate implant integration and peri-implant bone health and perform longitudinal monitoring of implant stability. Such advancements can enhance the success rates of dental implant procedures and facilitate long-term monitoring of implant stability, contributing to improved clinical outcomes. Integrating PA/US with other imaging modalities, such as FLIM in oral imaging, expands the capabilities of the system, enabling a more comprehensive assessment of oral tissues. The combination of metabolic, vascular, and structural information provides a holistic view of the pathology, offering the potential for more accurate diagnoses and individualized treatment, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. Continued research and development in integrating PA/US with other modalities will drive advancements for PA/US oral imaging and its clinical applications.</p>
<p>We believe there&#x2019;s more potential in the PA/US modality for oral diagnosis. In the current PA/US applications for oral imaging, single-wavelength imaging restricts the system&#x2019;s capability. There is a need to explore multi-spectral imaging for functional oral diagnosis. Evaluating parameters such as blood flow and oxygenation levels can offer valuable information, leading to a more comprehensive understanding of oral pathologies and potentially improved diagnosis of oral diseases. Additionally, while existing research has demonstrated the advantages of microscopy and tomography-based PA in detecting and characterizing early-stage oral pathologies, none of these studies have extended to dual-modal configurations (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B132">Li and Dewhurst, 2016</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B285">Zhang and Wang, 2022</xref>). Integrating the PA system with ultrasonic modality can potentially enhance the identification of subtle abnormalities and lesions in the early stages, providing a more effective diagnostic approach.</p>

<title>3.8 Foot ulcer imaging</title>
<p>Millions of Americans are affected by peripheral vascular disorders associated with pain, functional impairment, amputation, and higher risk of death (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B165">Nelson et al., 2007</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B213">Sen et al., 2009</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">Boyko et al., 2018</xref>). In addition, diabetes affects the entire vascular system due to long duration of high blood glucose levels, which causes changes in blood viscosity and arterial wall tension. Also, a hyperglycemic state causes altered metabolism, which further leads to altered vascular function at the tissue and cellular level (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B192">Pinhas-Hamiel and Zeitler, 2005</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B217">Shrikhande and McKinsey, 2012</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B27">Cho et al., 2018</xref>). Therefore, patients with diabetes are at increased risk of vascular damage and diabetic foot ulcers.

<p>Using a PA/US real-time foot imaging system with an arc-shaped transducer array, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B273">Yang et al., 2020</xref> compared diabetes mellitus patients to healthy volunteers. The PA signal intensity and oxygen saturation (sO<sub>2</sub>) were compared with and without vascular occlusion in both groups. Doppler US was used to establish landmarks and regions of interest. PA images were acquired at 760 and 840&#xa0;nm before occlusion and at 800&#xa0;nm during vascular stimulation. In diabetic patients, after vascular occlusion, slow recovery of PA signal was observed in the arteries.

Various studies have reported the application of gold nanoparticles in tissue engineering as the contrast agent due to their biostability and non-toxicity (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B163">Nam et al., 2015</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B162">Nagao et al., 2016</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B115">Kubelick et al., 2019</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B155">Mohd-Zahid et al., 2020</xref>). Aside from that, another type of nanoparticle named Prussian blue nanocubes (PBNCs) is applied in a tri-model study for spinal cord therapy (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B113">Kubelick and Emelianov, 2020a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B114">Kubelick and Emelianov, 2020b</xref>).</p>
<p>As shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F14">Figure 14</xref>, the nanoparticle-aided PA/US modality utilized US to offer structural information of the target region and PA to monitor the injected stem cell via the nanoparticle signal. Mouse experiment quantified the lowest detectable stem cell concentration to be 1 &#xd7; 10<sup>4</sup> cells/mL for the nanoparticle-aided PA modality (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B164">Nam et al., 2012</xref>), which is superior to other noninvasive stem cell tracking methods (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B131">Li et al., 2010</xref>). High-frequency (20&#x2013;40&#xa0;MHz) tomography-based multi-spectral PA/US configuration has been studied as a longitudinal stem cell monitoring platform for various applications. Existing research has demonstrated the capability of the system in visualizing stem cell delivery in the anterior eye (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F14">Figure 14A</xref>) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B120">Lee et al., 2018</xref>), stem cell-mediated wound healing progress (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F14">Figure 14B</xref>) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B163">Nam et al., 2015</xref>), and cell distribution in the acellular scaffold (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F14">Figure 14C</xref>) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B162">Nagao et al., 2016</xref>). Imaging results show that the PA/US offers a favorable balance between penetration depth (several centimeters) and spatial resolution (at the micron level). Multi-spectral imaging enables researchers to separate the signal produced by nanoparticles from other naturally occurring compounds, such as hemoglobin or melanin to provide functional information (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B163">Nam et al., 2015</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B115">Kubelick et al., 2019</xref>).</p>

<p>Aside from stem cell monitoring, another application of PA/US modality is guided-needle placement for direct stem cell injection. This approach has been used for real-time stem cell delivery to the spinal cord by mounting the PA/US transducer to the spinal injection platform to visualize the needle orientation and the labeled stem cells simultaneously (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B46">Donnelly et al., 2018</xref>). The team stated that this method can more effectively ensure the proper needle placement compared to preoperative imaging methods such as the MRI. The study proposed by Kubelick et al. evaluated the performance of the technique with MRI modality as the reference standard (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B113">Kubelick and Emelianov, 2020a</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B114">Kubelick and Emelianov, 2020b</xref>). The team utilized both PA/US and MRI modalities to track tagged stem cells in the spinal cord. The experiment result revealed strong agreement between the PA/US and MRI images. Notably, the PA/US modality demonstrated a minimum detectable cell concentration (100 cells/&#xb5;L) that is ten times higher compared to MRI and also shows advantages in terms of real-time imaging, portability, and footprint size. Although the team stated the imaging depth to be the limit of the PA/US modality, they believe that incorporating previously published innovation detection mechanisms can enhance the current imaging modality (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B115">Kubelick et al., 2019</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B43">Demissie et al., 2020</xref>). It is worth mentioning that the characteristics of PA/US needle guidance extends beyond stem cell injection. Studies have proved PA/US to be a viable tool for other minimally invasive procedures such as brachytherapy (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B223">Su et al., 2011</xref>) and nerve blocks revolutionize (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B266">Xia et al., 2016</xref>). These studies have reported minimized radiation exposure and improved delivery precision with PA/US guidance, indicating its potential to enhance treatment outcomes and reduce side effects.</p>
<p>While promising preclinical studies have demonstrated the feasibility and potential of PA/US for stem cell tracking, the clinical translation of this technique is still limited at the current time. The application of dual-modal exogenous contrast agents can enhance the specificity and sensitivity of the system, enabling precise localization and monitoring of stem cell populations <italic>in vivo</italic>. Therefore, one of the key aspects of the clinical transformation of PA/US is the validation of the safety, efficacy, and reliability of the contrast agents in human subjects. Validating the contrast agents for clinical use involves longitudinal studies to investigate the long-term behavior of transplanted stem cells and assess their therapeutic outcomes. Additionally, it necessitates the establishment of regulatory standards and the acquisition of appropriate certifications. This process is time-consuming and requires scrutiny to ensure patient safety and optimize clinical efficacy. To expedite the clinical translation of PA/US, it may be advantageous to focus efforts on optimizing existing molecules that have already received approval from regulatory bodies such as the FDA (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B157">Moore et al., 2019</xref>) for prolonged retention within the cells and strong PA signal generation.</p>
<p>Another aspect to consider is that existing contrast agents employed in PA/US provide limited functional information beyond the location of the labeled cells that have been implanted. Therefore, developing standardized and validated quantitative analysis techniques for PA/US imaging of stem cells is crucial for clinical translation. Quantitative imaging goes beyond merely tracking the migration of stem cells; it has the potential to offer immediate feedback on the status of transplanted stem cells, guide procedures during stem cell transplantation, and monitor potential immune responses or adverse reactions. This capability holds tremendous potential for revolutionizing regenerative medicine and deserves more attention in future work.</p>

<title>4 Discussion and outlook</title>
<p>As discussed in the previous section, a dual-modal approach provides more insight into organ or tissue characteristics. In contrast to imaging configurations that require a significant amount of time ranging from minutes to hours, researchers are increasingly adopting tomographic PA/US configurations for clinical use. The combination of metabolic, vascular, and structural information provides a holistic view of the pathology, offering the potential for precise diagnosis and individualized treatment, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. Continued research and development in the integration of PA/US with other modalities will drive advancements for PA/US oral imaging and its clinical applications.</p>
<p>In this review, we mostly focused on preclinical and clinical applications of integrated PA/US systems with some insight into future clinical translation. Independently, the field of PA imaging has seen tremendous growth over the past 2&#xa0;decades. Research and development have focused primarily on miniaturizing the light source, improving the imaging depth and speed, and enhancing the image quality. Compact light delivery systems, such as laser diodes, and LEDs are being studied, which could lead to portable and wearable PA devices (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B76">Hariri et al., 2018</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B289">Zhong et al., 2018</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B53">Fatima et al., 2019</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B117">Kuniyil Ajith Singh and Xia, 2020</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B292">Zhu et al., 2020</xref>). Replacing the laser with an LED significantly reduces the system cost. While the optical energy is much lower for an LED, it opens the door for point-of-care applications.</p>
<p>With novel contrast agents and super-resolution imaging (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B33">Conkey et al., 2015</xref>), deeper imaging has been made possible (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">Chitgupi et al., 2019</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B58">Fu et al., 2019</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B130">Li et al., 2020</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B75">Han et al., 2022</xref>). With obesity becoming a global epidemic, this is especially useful. Ultrasound signal gets attenuated and scattered as tissue thickness increases, especially adipose (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B68">Glanc et al., 2012</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B234">Uppot, 2018</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B79">Heinitz et al., 2023</xref>). Real-time imaging is being developed by utilizing fast scanning mechanisms and lasers with higher repetition rates (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B147">Manwar et al., 2018</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B96">Jeon et al., 2019</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B107">Kim et al., 2020a</xref>). This is especially needed for IVUS/IVPA systems where it maybe imperative for the operator to adjust imaging parameters with real-time feedback. It is also essential to catheter positioning for precision, as well as to analyze any identified are of concern.</p>
<p>Detection systems with various transducer geometries have evolved (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B173">Nyayapathi and Xia, 2019</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B148">Manwar et al., 2020</xref>). Numerous groups have been devoted to developing more advanced imaging hardware to enhance the performance of the PA/US modality, and novel transducers play a significant role in this endeavor. For the US modality, the US transducers are typically placed close to the imaging target to reduce acoustic attenuation. However, the transducer might also block light delivery. The transparent transducers provide direct light delivery through the transducer (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B183">Park et al., 2021b</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B198">Ren et al., 2021</xref>) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F15">Figures 15A,B</xref>). While the low piezoelectricity of the transducer material can affect the system performance, a two-matching-layer design can solve this issue (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">Chen et al., 2021</xref>). The transparent transducer&#x2019;s ability to perform co-axial dual-modal imaging with reduced system complexity and cost (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B182">Park et al., 2020a</xref>) makes it a viable tool for various clinical applications, such as ophthalmology (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B184">Park et al., 2021c</xref>), oncology (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B185">Park et al., 2022</xref>), and intravascular imaging (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B278">Yildiz et al., 2018</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B135">Li et al., 2019</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B262">Wu et al., 2019</xref>). The same design is also applied in PAM system to replace traditional reflectors for less acoustic loss (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B187">Park et al., 2020b</xref>).</p>

</fig>
<p>In addition to transparent transducers, other novel transducer designs have also been proposed. As shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F15">Figure 15C</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B61">Gao et al., 2022</xref> developed a wearable PA/US soft patch comprised of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL) and piezoelectric transducer elements, all integrated into a flexible pad. The patch allows noninvasive continuous mapping of the volumetric distributions of hemoglobin and core temperature at a depth beyond the skin surface. In conjunction with recent advances in wearable ultrasound (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B244">Wang et al., 2022</xref>), we envision a wearable PA/US sensing patch can be developed for wellness monitoring and imaging. The US modality can be integrated with PA without additional pulse-receive circuits, by generating US pulses from the &#x201c;clutter&#x201d; PA signals generated by the absorption of backscattered laser radiation by the metalized surface of the PA detector (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B224">Subochev et al., 2015</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B99">Johnson et al., 2018</xref>). As the same laser is used for both PA and US excitation, the system compactness is greatly improved.</p>
<p>Vast improvements have also been made to reconstruction methods. US interferometry can assess the acoustic inhomogeneity of tissue based on the correlation and phase difference between adjacent receiver locations. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B279">Yin et al., 2015</xref> used US interferometry in conjunction with a subsequent time-reversal algorithm to recover PA images from scattered signals. This approach eliminated the influence of acoustic inhomogeneity on PA image quality. For the same purpose, PA and US tomography (PACT/USCT) have been combined to simultaneously estimate the initial pressure distributions and speed of sound (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B264">Xia et al., 2013b</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B150">Matthews and Anastasio, 2017a</xref>). A PA-guided focused US imaging method has also been proposed to reduce reflection artifacts caused by PA sources (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B116">Kuniyil Ajith Singh and Steenbergen, 2015</xref>). The US focal zone is set to match the optical absorber to start the signal acquisition. The US signal thus mimics PA acquisition to aid the identification of PA reflectors in tissue.</p>
<p>On the other hand, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">Biswas et al., 2015</xref> used US reflection imaging to address reflection artifacts from the bone caused by PA backscattering at the bone surface. The bone surface is determined using a pulse-echo algorithm that considers one pulse/receiver pair at a time, with the epidermis assumed to be the US transmitter and the PA probe assumed to be the detector array. This reconstruction method was verified to be especially useful for reflectors, as it is effective at detecting joint spaces and reducing reflection artifacts in images containing highly scattering materials.</p>
<p>Recent development various artificial intelligence (AI) has provided multiple tools to improve PA imaging. Recent works have been geared towards improving PA image acquisition, detection, resolution, and overall quality (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B282">Zhang et al., 2021</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">Bell, 2022</xref>). Many deep learning-based PA reconstruction methods have been proposed to overcome the limited detection view and low image contrast problems for real-time (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B108">Kim et al., 2020b</xref>), raw and beamformed images (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B118">LanY-Net et al., 2020</xref>), linear arrays (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B282">Zhang et al., 2021</xref>), ring-shaped arrays (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B283">Zhang et al., 2020</xref>), and many more (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B78">Hauptmann et al., 2018</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B210">Schwab et al., 2019</xref>). <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B70">Gr&#xf6;hl et al., 2021</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B81">Hsu et al., 2021</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B272">Yang et al., 2021</xref> have provided comprehensive reviews regarding PA image reconstruction. Furthermore, quantitative photoacoustic imaging (qPAT), in which the quantitative optical absorption coefficient map is obtained by combining PAT with light transport models, are being studied to improve PA reconstruction. Thus, qPAT can provide highly accurate concentration estimates of chromophores with an optical inversion before spectral unmixing, which corrects for the effect of fluence. Various researchers are now working on this novel method to study disease progression and molecular imaging (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B37">Cox et al., 2012</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B35">Cook et al., 2013</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">Bench et al., 2020</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B255">Wang et al., 2023b</xref>).</p>
<p>US imaging has also seen exponential growth in the past decade. AI tools have been used to improve and/or replace conventional US beamforming (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B104">Khan et al., 2020</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B140">Luijten et al., 2020</xref>). Furthermore, the use of AI has shown great promise in speckle suppression (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B89">Hyun et al., 2019</xref>), segmentation (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B202">Ronneberger et al., 2015</xref>), and overall improvement in image quality (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B136">Litjens et al., 2017</xref>). Quantitative US features like acoustic backscatter and attenuation are being studied to map heterogeneity in tissue (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B228">Tai et al., 2020</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">Basavarajappa et al., 2021</xref>). Plane-wave imaging and parallel beamforming-based ultrafast US are being developed with potential in various applications (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B231">Tanter and Fink, 2014</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">Baranger et al., 2021</xref>). 2D transducer arrays are being developed to facilitate 3D imaging in real time (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B84">Huang and Zeng, 2017</xref>). Other than traditional B-mode US and Doppler, elastography and microvascular ultrasound are catching up with mainstream clinical use (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B166">Nenadic et al., 2019</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B71">Gu et al., 2022</xref>).</p>
<p>Additionally, researchers are investigating the integration of other modalities with PA/US systems to enhance disease monitoring and diagnosis. PA/US systems have been integrated with modalities such as diffuse optical tomography (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">Bauer et al., 2011</xref>), optical coherence tomography (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B281">Zhang et al., 2011</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B183">Park et al., 2021b</xref>), magnetic resonance imaging (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B186">Park et al., 2017</xref>), near infrared fluorescence (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B105">Kim et al., 2010</xref>), and confocal microscopy (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B137">Liu et al., 2019</xref>). Various contrast agents are being developed with applications for dual-modal detection (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B139">Lu et al., 2018</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B268">Xu et al., 2021</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B276">Ye et al., 2021</xref>). PA/US dual-modal contrast agents like micro or nanobubbles could be used to assess tumor boundaries during surgery. With advancements in both technologies, each of which provides distinct insights into human biology, the future shows a compelling need to use dual-modal systems in the clinic. PA/US imaging overall shows great potential for clinical translation in all the applications discussed in this review. However, given the rapid advances in the field, there is also a compelling need to standardize PA/US features. In addition, appropriate verification, validation, and safety measures need to be employed. The future shows great promise as improved dual-modal systems will enable clinicians to make more accurate diagnoses and custom treatment plans for patients.</p>
