Photoacoustics（光声学杂志）影响因子_期刊投稿发表

期刊简介

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-thermoacoustics, which exploits acoustical and ultrasonic phenomena excited by electromagnetic radiation for purposes of detection, visualization, and characterization of a variety of materials and biological tissues, including living organisms.Many research directions in photoacoustics, especially biomedical optoacoustic imaging experience explosive growth in the 21st century. The wealth of investigated topics 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 of molecular absorption available to photoacoustic - optoacoustic - thermoacoustic methods. These include pre-clinical research and clinical imaging of vasculature, tissue and disease physiology, drug efficacy, surgery guidance, and therapy monitoring. Correspondingly applications span the entire range of medical imaging and sensing applications including cancer, vascular diseases, brain neurophysiology, ophthalmology, and diabetes. Recent technological advances enabled cell trafficking applications and measurements of a multitude of other biological functions. The multidisciplinary nature of photoacoustics - optoacoustics - thermoacoustics is also evidenced by the growing contribution from chemistry and nanotechnology where a variety of novel biodegradable materials from nanoparticles to organic dyes, to targeted agents, theranostic probes and genetically expressed markers are being actively developed. Significant enhancement of the signal-to-noise ratio and tissue contrast in photoacoustic methods has been achieved employing these advanced materials.While some of the spectroscopic and sensing applications in non-biomedical materials have reached a mature state, Photoacoustics supports the research community that develops novel industrial and environmental applications, nondestructive evaluation of materials and new ultrawideband transducers (piezoelectric, capacitive and optical) for sensitive detection of photoacoustic - optoacoustic - thermoacoustic signals.The list of topics of interest includes (but is not limited to) the following:● Tomography and deep-tissue imaging● Mesoscopy, microscopy, and nanoscopy● Functional and molecular imaging and sensing● Contrast agents, molecular probes, and nanoparticles● Interactions with cells and tissues● Pre-clinical imaging, clinical translation, and clinical applications● Multi-modality systems involving light and sound● Microwave induced ultrasound imaging and sensing● Laser ultrasound methods and applications● Physics and modeling of photoacoustic generation, propagation and detection● Signal processing, advanced filtering and artifact removal● Image reconstruction algorithms including deep learning● Computer assisted diagnostics based on artificial intelligence● Ultrawide-band ultrasound detectors, optical detectors of ultrasound● Novel lasers and light delivery technologies for the generation of ultrasound● Photoacoustics spectroscopy and sensing for analysis of gases, liquids and solids● Nondestructive testing of materials● Brillouin spectroscopy, sensing and imaging based on optically induced coherent acoustic waves

开放存取光声学杂志（PACS）的目的是发表原创研究和评论在快速发展的光声学（光声学）和热声学领域的贡献，利用光和电磁激发的声学和热现象可视化和表征各种材料和生物组织，包括活的有机体。虽然一些光谱和光热应用已经达到了成熟状态，但许多其他研究方向经历了爆炸性增长，特别是生物医学光声学，其目前被认为是增长最快的生物成像模态。大量的研究主题清楚地表明，该领域已经为基础研究和应用研究开发了广泛的工具。激光技术、超声检测方法、逆理论和快速重建算法的发展极大地支持了最近的巨大进展。这一进展还受到大量未满足的生物学和医学需求的推动，这些需求可以通过光声（光声）方法可用的独特对比机制来解决。其中包括血管系统的临床前研究和临床成像、组织和疾病生理学、药物疗效和治疗监测、光学解剖学和采用荧光染料、发色团和纳米颗粒的分子成像。相应地，应用跨越生物和医学成像的整个范围，包括癌症、心血管疾病、神经成像、眼科学或免疫学成像、糖尿病和肥胖症、细胞运输应用和大量其他生物功能。光声学和热声学的多学科性质也通过化学和纳米技术的日益增长的贡献而得到证明，其中大量新型造影剂和造影剂不断被开发，从纳米颗粒和有机染料到靶向试剂和基因表达标记物。
