Abstract | High-frequency ultrasound has attracted considerable application on the intravascular and ocular imaging because of the improved spatial resolution. Recently multi-modalities imaging methods which combined high-frequency ultrasound with optics are considered to be the next frontier in biomedical imaging. The development of integrated piezoelectric ultrasound transducer and optical coherence tomography (IVUS-OCT) for intravascular application, acoustic radiation force optical coherence elastography (ARF-OCE) for retinal elastography, and photoacoustic tomography/microscopic (PAT/PAM) for endoscopy and brain imaging will be presented. In addition, Focused ultrasound stimulation on the retina and optic nerve will be discussed. |
