    Numerical and experimental investigations of dependence of photoacoustic signals from gold nanoparticles on the optical properties

    Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are used as a contrast agent of the photoacoustic (PA) imaging. The efficiency of AuNPs has been discussed with the absorption cross section. However, the effects of the scattering o...
