Optoacoustic temperature estimations in a tissue mimicking phantom. (ac) Transverse and coronal maximum intensity projection (MIP) optoacoustic images reconstructed for three different time points during laser heating of the phantom; (d) The temperature increase estimated from the optoacoustic signal variations (dashed curves) as compared to the temperature increase measured with thermocouples (solid curves). The regions of interest considered for the estimation are marked in panel a; (e) Relative deviation of the F factor from the theoretical value as a function of the temperature increase.
