3D wide‐field multispectral photoacoustic imaging of human melanomas <i>in vivo</i>: a pilot study

Abstract

The 3D multispectral photoacoustic imaging not only provides well-measured depth and sizes of various types of melanomas, it also visualizes the metastatic type of melanoma. Obtaining accurate depth and boundary information of melanoma before surgery would play a useful role in the complete excision of melanoma during surgery.
