Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is rapidly emerging for many clinical applications involving vascular mapping and tissue oximetry. Phantom-based evaluation of oximetry accuracy is invaluable for device evaluation but requires specialized equipment and use of potentially biohazardous blood. We developed stable, tunable blood-mimicking dye solutions that can simulate photoacoustic signals of blood at 750 nm and 850 nm for 40-100% SO2. We filled breast-mimicking polyacrylamide hydrogel phantoms with either dye solutions or deoxygenated bovine blood to test a custom PAI system. Results showed that the blood-mimicking dyes produced similar levels of SO2 accuracy in phantoms compared to blood samples, although some differences in sensitivity and root-mean-square difference were observed. These blood-mimicking dyes may offer a simpler, safer approach to evaluating oximetry measurement accuracy in PAI devices that could accelerate device evaluation and clinical translation.
