ChinaABSTRACTContinuous and non-invasive real-time measurement of human blood pressure is of great importance for health care and clinical diagnosis.Photoacoustic imaging allows absorption-based high-resolution spectroscopyin vivo imaging with a depth beyond that of optical microscopy. In this study,a novel photoacoustic imaging systemis usedfor monitoring and imaging of vesselpulsation,whichcan realize simple, non-invasive and continuous measurement and recognition of blood pressure. Combined with deep learning method, a model is established to effectively evaluate the dependence of blood vessel elasticity on theblood pressure.These results can quickly and accurately identify the photoacoustic signals of blood vessels under different pressures.
