A new approach to fluorescence imaging in optically turbid media centered on the use of nanoscale ultrasound-switchable FRET based liposome contrast agents is reported. Liposomes containing lipophilic carbocyanine dyes as FRET pairs with emission wav...

Ultrasound induced fluorescence of nanoscale liposome contrast agents (2016)
Journal Article
Zhang, Q., Morgan, S. P., O’Shea, P., & Mather, M. L. (2016). Ultrasound induced fluorescence of nanoscale liposome contrast agents. PLoS ONE, 11(7), 1-15. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0159742

A new imaging contrast agent is reported that provides an increased fluorescent signal upon application of ultrasound (US). Liposomes containing lipids labelled with pyrene were optically excited and the excimer fluorescence emission intensity was de...

Objective: A hybrid imaging technique, Ultrasound Modulated Luminescence Tomography, that uses ultrasound to modulate diffusely propagating light has been shown to improve the spatial resolution of optical images. This paper is to investigate the und... Read More about Numerical investigation of the mechanisms of ultrasound-modulated bioluminescence tomography.

Pulsed ultrasound modulated optical tomography with harmonic lock-in holography detection (2013)
Journal Article
Ruan, H., Mather, M., & Morgan, S. P. (2013). Pulsed ultrasound modulated optical tomography with harmonic lock-in holography detection. Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 30(7), https://doi.org/10.1364/JOSAA.30.001409

A method that uses digital heterodyne holography reconstruction to extract scattered light modulated by a singlecycle ultrasound (US) burst is demonstrated and analyzed. An US burst is used to shift the pulsed laser frequency by a series of discrete... Read More about Pulsed ultrasound modulated optical tomography with harmonic lock-in holography detection.
