Abstract

Extra information

The Grüneisen parameter is an essential factor in biomedical photoacoustic (PA) diagnostics. In most PA imaging applications, the variation of the Grüneisen parameter with tissue type is insignificant. This is not the case for PA imaging and characterization of lipids, as they have a very distinct Grüneisen parameter compared with other tissue types. One example of PA applications involving lipids is the imaging and characterization of atherosclerotic plaques. Intravascular photoacoustic (IVPA) imaging is a promising diagnostic tool that can evaluate both plaque severity and composition. The literature for IVPA has mainly focused on using the difference in absorption coefficients between plaque components and healthy arterial tissues. However, the Grüneisen parameters for lipids and their behavior with temperature have not been well established in the literature. In this study we employ frequency-domain photoacoustic measurements to estimate the Grüneisen parameter by virtue of the ability of this modality to independently measure the absorption coefficient and the Grüneisen parameter through the use of the phase channel. The values of the Grüneisen parameters of some lipids are calculated as functions of temperature in the range 25-45 °C.
