Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an emerging functional and molecular imaging technology that has attracted much attention in the past decade. Recently, many researchers have used the vantage system from Verasonics for simultaneous ultrasound (US) and photoacoustic (PA) imaging. This was the motivation to write on the details of US/PA imaging system implementation and characterization using Verasonics platform. We have discussed the experimental considerations for linear array based PAI due to its popularity, simple setup, and high potential for clinical translatability. Specifically, we describe the strategies of US/PA imaging system setup, signal generation, amplification, data processing and study the system performance.
光声成像（PAI）是一种新兴的功能和分子成像技术，在过去十年中备受关注。最近，许多研究人员使用了Verasonics公司的优势系统进行超声（US）和光声（PA）同步成像。这就是撰写本文以详细介绍使用Verasonics平台实现和表征US/PA成像系统的动机。由于基于线性阵列的PAI广受欢迎、设置简单且具有很高的临床可转化潜力，我们讨论了其相关实验考量。具体而言，我们描述了US/PA成像系统的设置策略、信号生成、放大、数据处理，并研究了系统性能。
