An ICCD camera-based time-domain ultrasound-switchable fluorescence imaging system

Abstract Fluorescence imaging in centimeter-deep tissues with high resolution is highly desirable for many biomedical applications. Recently, we have developed a new imaging modality, ultrasound-switchable fluorescence (USF) imaging, for achieving this goal. In our previous work, we successfully ach...
