Abstract:	Photoacoustic (PA) imaging has become one of the major imaging methods because of its ability to record structural information and its high spatial resolution in biological tissues. Current commercialized PA imaging instruments are limited to varying degrees by their bulky size (i.e., the laser or scanning stage) or their use of complex optical components for light delivery. Here, we present a robust acoustic-resolution PA imaging system that consists of four adjustable optical fibers placed 90° apart around a 50 MHz high-frequency ultrasound (US) transducer. In the compact design concept of the PA probe, the relative illumination parameters (i.e., angles and fiber size) can be adjusted to fit different imaging applications in a single setting. Moreover, this design concept involves a user interface built in MATLAB. We first assessed the performance of our imaging system using in vitro phantom experiments. We further demonstrated the in vivo performance of the developed system in imaging (1) rat ear vasculature, (2) real-time cortical hemodynamic changes in the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) during left-forepaw electrical stimulation, and (3) real-time cerebral indocyanine green (ICG) dynamics in rats. Collectively, this alignment-free design concept of a compact PA probe without bulky optical lens systems is intended to satisfy the diverse needs in preclinical PA imaging studies.
