Research progress of photoacoustic detection in the diagnosis of prostate cancer / 中华泌尿外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Photoacoustic imaging is a hybrid model biomedical imaging method based on photoacoustic effect. It can reflect prostate anatomy and molecular information in real time, and is low-cost and radiation-free. In recent years, photoacoustic detection based on photoacoustic imaging has developed rapidly, and great progress has been made in term of technology, depth, scope and machine learning. In the diagnosis of prostate cancer, breakthroughs has been made in the research of prostate cancer cell lines, human prostate cancer in vitro specimens and animal tumor xenograft models. It has also been experimentally used in vivo diagnosis of prostate cancer patients, which has great potential for clinical transformation.
