Microwave-excited hybrid thermoacoustic and ultrasound imaging with microwave pulse-width modulation

We present a method that allows for hybrid microwave-excited thermoacoustic and ultrasound (HMTAU) imaging without an additional ultrasound transmitting circuitry. The same microwave pulse is used to simultaneously generate thermoacoustic (TA) signals from the sample by the thermoacoustic effect, an...
