“…Among these sensors, plano-concave resonators with high detection sensitivity and broad detection bandwidth, which can detect the acoustically induced deformations of its polymer cavity, are well-suited for minimally invasive procedures [ 28 ]. In previous works, the OpUS devices have been used successfully to achieve two- and three-dimensional imaging on ex vivo tissue [ 12 , 29 , 30 ], as well as in vivo real-time imaging [ 11 , 31 ]. Additionally, side-viewing devices have been developed for rotational imaging [ 32 , 33 ] and two-dimensional imaging in which the transmitter and receiver were combined onto a single optical fibre for further miniaturisation [ 14 , 34 ].…”
