    Abstract

    This work proposes a method to concurrently calibrate multiple acoustic speeds in different mediums with a photoacoustic (PA) and ultrasound (US) dual-modality imaging system. First, physical infrastructure information of the target is acquired through a US image. Then, we repeatedly build PA images around a special target to yield the best focused result by dynamically updating the acoustic speeds in a different medium of the target. With these correct acoustic propagation velocities in the according mediums, we can effectively optimize the PA image quality as the experiments proved, which might benefit future research in biomedical imaging science.
