Abstract
The present invention provides a photoacoustic system and method for increasing light fluence. The photoacoustic system mainly comprises an ultrasonic device, an optical device, and a contact unit. The ultrasonic device emits an ultrasound toward a target tissue for generating a heat tunnel in the target tissue. The heat tunnel increases the light fluence in the target tissue, wherein the light intensity of the light emitted by the optical device is increased at a target point in the target tissue.
本發明提供一種提升光通量的光聲複合系統以及方法,其中,該光聲複合系統主要包括一超音波裝置、一光學裝置、以及一接觸頭。該超音波裝置照射一超音波於一目標組織上,該超音波於該目標組織中產生一熱通道以增加該目標組織的光通量,以增強該光學裝置所照射於一目標點的光強度。
