In this study, we developed a novel photoacoustic imaging technique based on poly (ethyleneglycol)-coated (PEGylated) gold nanorods (PEG-GNRs) (as the contrast agent) combined with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) acupuncture (as the auxiliary method) for quantitatively monitoring contrast enhancement in the vasculature of a mouse brain in vivo. This study takes advantage of the strong near-infrared absorption (peak at [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]nm) of GNRs and the ability to adjust the hemodynamics of acupuncture. Experimental results show that photoacoustic tomography (PAT) successfully reveals the optical absorption variation of the vasculature of the mouse brain in response to intravenous administration of GNRs and acupuncture at the Zusanli acupoint (ST36) both individually and combined. The quantitative measurement of contrast enhancement indicates that the composite contrast agents (integration of acupuncture and GNRs) would greatly enhance the photoacoustic imaging contrast. The quantitative results also have the potential to estimate the local concentration of GNRs and even the real-time effects of acupuncture.

Abstract Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is often performed simultaneously with ultrasound imaging and can provide functional and cellular information regarding the tissues in the anatomical markers of the imaging. This paper describes in detail the basic principles of photoacoustic/ultrasound (PA/US) imaging and its application in recent years. It includes near-infrared-region PA, photothermal, photodynamic, and multimode imaging techniques. Particular attention is given to the relationship between PAI and ultrasonic imaging; the latest high-frequency PA/US imaging of small animals, which involves not only B-mode, but also color Doppler mode, power Doppler mode, and nonlinear imaging mode; the ultrasonic model combined with PAI, including the formation of multimodal imaging; the preclinical imaging methods; and the most effective detection methods for clinical research for the future.
