In vivo photoacoustic imaging of swine ureters injected with methylene blue
<i>In vivo</i> results demonstrate that methylene-blue-enhanced photoacoustic imaging can visualize the ureter over a time duration that is consistent with the length of surgical procedures, providing initial feasibility for real-time photoacoustic-guided surgery applications.
