A Long-Term Cranial Window for High-Resolution Photoacoustic Imaging

Conclusion: The cranial window has a good imaging quality for both anesthetized and behaving rats, enabling long-term, high-resolution, and steady photoacoustic imaging of cerebral vasculatures. Significance: Based on the studies of both anesthetized and behaving rats, the proposed cranial window has the potential to be used in the longitudinal in vivo study of chronic brain diseases in freely moving rodents.
