Paper Abstract
Continuous monitoring of cerebral blood oxygenation is critically important for the management of many lifethreatening
conditions. Non-invasive monitoring of cerebral blood oxygenation with a photoacoustic technique offers
advantages over current invasive and non-invasive methods. We introduce a Monte Carlo XYZ-PA to model the energy
deposition in 3D and the time-resolved pressures and velocity potential based on the energy absorbed by the biological
tissue. This paper outlines the benefits of using Monte Carlo XYZ-PA for optimization of photoacoustic measurement
and imaging. To the best of our knowledge this is the first fully integrated tool for photoacoustic modelling.
