Abstract
In high-frequency photoacoustic imaging with uniform illumination, homogeneous photo-absorbing structures may be invisible because of their large size or limited-view issues. Here we show that, by exploiting dynamic speckle illumination, it is possible to reveal features which are normally invisible with a photoacoustic system comprised of a 20MHz linear ultrasound array. We demonstrate imaging of a 5 mm diameter absorbing cylinder and a 30 micrometer black thread arranged in a complex shape. The hidden structures are directly retrieved from photoacoustic images recorded for different random speckle illuminations of the phantoms by assessing the variation in the value of each pixel over the illumination patterns.
