a color Doppler image, (b) B-mode ultrasound image at t = 0. c B-mode ultrasound image at t = 19 min. The yellow box is indicating the artery monitored for vasodilation measurement. d Scatter plot of maximum increase in diameter using B-mode ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging with mean and standard deviation (B-mode US group: n = 5 mice, Photoacoustic group: n = 6 mice). e Scatter plot of peak time response for B-mode and photoacoustic acute vasodilation estimate with mean and standard deviation (B-mode US group: n = 5 mice, Photoacoustic group: n = 6 mice). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
