AB - Multi-modal imaging technique has significantly spotlighted since it can provide a variety of information by combining the complementary merits of several single-modal imaging. In particular, in order to compensate for each shortcoming and improve image quality, an integrated optical and ultrasonic imaging system is being actively researched. However, the non-transparency of the ultrasound transducer made it difficult to integrate the optical and ultrasound imaging system. In previous study, we introduced the transparent ultrasound transducer (TUT) and dual-modal photoacoustic imaging (PAI)/ultrasound imaging (USI) system using the TUT. In this study, we present the multi-modal imaging system integrated with PA, US and optical coherence tomography (OCT). OCT has the advantage of acquiring anatomical information at optical resolution under subsurface and transparent media. To explore the usefulness of the multi-modal imaging system, we have successfully performed in vivo animal experiments: 1) eye imaging experiments and 2) subcutaneous melanoma imaging. In PAI, blood vessels and melanoma are clearly visualized. In OCT, the morphological information in shallow depth are observed in detail. In USI, the melanoma boundary and surrounding tissues are clearly confirmed. These results show that TUT based multi-modal imaging system can serve as a comprehensive in various applications.
