期刊簡介預計審稿時間：約Publication Time: 0.9 weeks 22 Weeks

The aim of the open access Photoacoustics journal (PACS) is to publish original research and review contributions within the fast growing field of photoacoustics (optoacoustics) and thermoacoustics, which exploits optically and electromagnetically excited acoustical and thermal phenomena for visualization and characterization of a variety of materials and biological tissues, including living organisms. While some of the spectroscopic and photothermal applications have reached a mature state, many other research directions experience an explosive growth, in particular biomedical photoacoustics, which is currently considered the fastest growing bio-imaging modality. The wealth of investigated topics clearly indicates that this field has developed a broad range of tools for fundamental and applied research. The enormous recent progress is greatly supported by the advances in laser technologies, ultrasound detection approaches, development of inverse theory and fast reconstruction algorithms. This progress is also driven by a large number of unmet biological and medical needs that can be addressed by the unique contrast mechanisms available to photoacoustic (optoacoustic) methods. These include pre-clinical research and clinical imaging of vasculature, tissue and disease physiology, drug efficacy and treatment monitoring, optical anatomy and molecular imaging employing fluorochromes, chromophores and nanoparticles. Correspondingly applications span the entire range of biological and medical imaging including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neuroimaging, ophthalmology or imaging in immunology, diabetes and obesity, cell trafficking application and a multitude of other biological functions. The multi-disciplinarily nature of photoacoustics and thermoacoustics is also evinced by the growing contribution from chemistry and nanotechnology where a multitude of novel contrast materials and agents have been constantly developed, from nanoparticles and organic dyes, to targeted agents and genetically expressed markers.

開放獲取的《光聲學》期刊 (PACS) 旨在發(fā)表原創(chuàng)研究和評論快速發(fā)展的光聲學 (optoacoustics) 和熱聲學領(lǐng)域的貢獻，該領(lǐng)域利用光學和電磁激發(fā)的聲學和熱現(xiàn)象來可視化和表征各種材料和生物組織，包括生物體。雖然一些光譜和光熱應用已經(jīng)達到成熟狀態(tài)，但許多其他研究方向正在經(jīng)歷爆炸式增長，特別是生物醫(yī)學光聲學，它目前被認為是增長最快的生物成像方式。豐富的研究主題清楚地表明，該領(lǐng)域已經(jīng)開發(fā)出廣泛的基礎和應用研究工具。最近取得的巨大進展在很大程度上得益于激光技術(shù)、超聲檢測方法、逆理論和快速重建算法的發(fā)展。這一進展還受到大量未滿足的生物和醫(yī)學需求的推動，這些需求可以通過光聲 (optoacoustic) 方法可用的獨特對比機制來解決。這些包括血管、組織和疾病生理學的臨床前研究和臨床成像、藥物療效和治療監(jiān)測、光學解剖學和使用熒光染料、發(fā)色團和納米粒子的分子成像。相應的應用涵蓋了整個生物和醫(yī)學成像領(lǐng)域，包括癌癥、心血管疾病、神經(jīng)成像、眼科或免疫學成像、糖尿病和肥胖癥、細胞運輸應用和許多其他生物功能。光聲學和熱聲學的多學科性質(zhì)也體現(xiàn)在化學和納米技術(shù)的不斷貢獻中，其中不斷開發(fā)出大量新型造影材料和藥劑，從納米粒子和有機染料到靶向藥劑和基因表達標記。
