Photo Acoustic Tomography (PAT) is a hybrid imaging modality which combines high contrast of optical imaging and spatial resolution of ultrasound imaging, thus it is suitable to image biological tissue noninvasively. Laser-induced photoacoustic signals were measured from a sample by means of an unfocused ultrasound transducer, then PAT image was reconstructed based on a universal back-projection algorithm. To evaluate the feasibility of our system, phantom test was performed, consequently, the PAT images obtained using our system showed highly analogous shape and volume with those of the phantom. This result demonstrated that our system can provide a powerful tool for imaging the substructure of biological tissue in non-invasive manner.

Temperature homogeniety and stationary temperature is the most important thermometric considerations for the clinical use of hyperthermia. A thermal mapping was done in a phantom with thermocouple during hyperthermia which was induced by 1.0MHz,$0.7\~0.8watts/cm^2$ ultrasound and unfocused 2.5cm-diameter transducer. The results were as follows 1. Effective heating range$(42.5^{|circ}C\pm0.5^{\circ}C)$ were obtained 3cm in width and 4cm in depth from surface of phantom and temperature distribution was relatively uniform. 2. There was little heating effect more than 2cm away from transducer axis and more than 5cm in depth. 3. There was hot spots(more than $43^{\circ}C$) in $2.0\pm0.5cm$ depth from transducer along tranducer axis.
