Paper Abstract
Photoacoustic Thermal Diffusion Flowmetry (PA-TDF) utilizes photothermal heating and photoacoustic temperature
monitoring to measure the tissue heat clearance time constants from which blood velocity can be inferred. We extended
our study of PA-TDF to tissue-mimicking phantoms with vessels at various diameters, configurations and depths and
experimentally verified the relations between the estimated time constants and the vessels and the illuminating beam
dimensions. We also demonstrated, for the first time, depth-resolved PA-TDF measurement using tone-burst
photoacoustic excitation. The excitation utilized two fiber-coupled 830nm laser diodes, one induced slow temperature
oscillations and the other induced the PA excitation.
