  1. PHOTOACOUSTIC PROBE FOR TUMOR DETECTION HAIFENG WANG SUBHASHINI PAKALAPATI VU TRAN Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Massachusetts Lowell

  2. OUTLINE • Introduction • Principle of Ultrasound • What is Photoacoustic (PA) • Fiber-optic Source and Receiver • System of PA • How to fabricate • How PA system can detect tumor • Advantages and Disadvantages • Timeline • Tasks • Reference

  3. INTRODUCTION • Cancer killed ~570 000 people in 2010 in the USA. • Lot of methods to detect/predict tumor: US, x-ray, CT, MRI, PET, SPECT, etc. • Photoacoustic (PA) takes advantage of fiber optic and ultrasound to detect tumor

  4. PRINCIPLE OF ULTRASOUND • Transducer emit ultrasound wave and get signals back from object • D= t.v • Scan volume to get image

  5. WHAT IS PHOTOACOUSTIC? • Conversion of photons to acoustic wave due to absorption and localized thermal excitation. • Pulses of light is absorbed, energy will be radiated as heat. • Heat causes detectable sound waves due to pressure variation.

  6. PHOTOACOUSTIC (Cont.)

  7. DIAGRAM OF A TYPICAL PA SYSTEM • Themo-elastic Ultrsound Generation • Extrinsic fiber hydrophone, based on a Fabry-Perot interferometer

  8. FIBER OPTIC ULTRASONIC SOURCE BASED ON OPTO-ACOUSTIC CONVERSION

  9. FIBER OPTIC ULTRASONIC RECEIVER BASED ON ACOUSTO-OPTIC CONVERSION

  10. TRANSMISSION STRUCTURE 2D gold nanoparticle array sandwiched between a transparent substrate and a PDMS layer

  11. GOLD NANOSTRUCTURE The top view (a) and sketch of the side view( b) of the gold nanostructure.

  12. DETECTION OF TUMOR USING PAI • Tumors have dense and unorganized vasculature. • High density of blood vessels in tumors enhances PAI contrast.

  13. DETECTION OF TUMOR (CONT.) Endogenous PA contrast: • Melanin • Oxy Hemoglobin • Deoxy Hemoglobin Exogenous PA contrast (Highly sensitive to deeply situated tumors): • Au NP • Alexa Fluor • Indocyanine Green

  14. ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES • Ability to detect deeply situated tumor and its vasculature • Monitors angiogenesis • High resolution • Compatible to Ultra Sound • High Penetration depth 1. Limited Path length 2. Temperature Dependence 3. Weak absorption at short wavelengths

  15. TIMELINE

  16. TASKS • HAIFENG WANG • Principle of Photoacoustic • Fabricate PA structure • SUBHASHINI PAKALAPATI • Principle and procedure of tumor detection using PA • AuNP enhanced • VU TRAN • Compare other methods to detect tumor • AuNP enhanced
