Learned spectral decoloring enables photoacoustic oximetry

Abstract The ability of photoacoustic imaging to measure functional tissue properties, such as blood oxygenation sO $$_2$$ 2 , enables a wide variety of possible applications. sO $$_2$$ 2 can be computed from the ratio of oxyhemoglobin HbO $$_2$$ 2 and deoxyhemoglobin Hb, which can be distuinguished...
