title = "3D microfluidic test target for ultrasonic and photoacoustic imaging",
abstract = "A microfluidic test target has been created for the calibration and baselining of both a photoacoustic and ultrasonic imaging system. The design stemmed from a standard optical test pattern using line pair per millimeter to quantify the imaging systems resolution. This pattern was then converted to a fiuidic design. Micro fabricated by means of soft lithography, a 3D microfluidic test target device was created and implanted into a silicone based rubber, with increasing thickness from 1, 3, and 5mm. Target contains line pairs with spacing ranging from 56-1670pm. Ultrasonic and photoacoustic imaging of these targets were done viewing the image quality losses as a function of depth. A modulation transfer function (MTF) was used to baseline the system. This granted the ability to quantiflably characterize an ultrasonic/photoacoustic systems allowing for variation of the systems metrics for different applications. This test target allows for both axial and lateral resolution to be considered now when imaging.",
