Photoacoustic (PA) imaging has been extensively investigated in application in biomedicine over the last decade. This article reviews the motivation, significance, and system configuration of a few ongoing studies of implementing photoacoustic technology in musculoskeletal imaging, abdominal imaging, and interstitial sensing. The review then summarizes the methodologies and latest progress of relevant projects. Finally, we discuss our expectations for the future of translation research in PA imaging.
