AB  - Intravascular photoacoustic (IVPA) imaging is a catheter-based, minimally 
      invasive, imaging modality capable of providing high-resolution optical 
      absorption map of the arterial wall. Integrated with intravascular ultrasound 
      (IVUS) imaging, combined IVPA and IVUS imaging can be used to detect and 
      characterize atherosclerotic plaques building up in the inner lining of an 
      artery. In this paper, we present and discuss various representative applications 
      of combined IVPA/IVUS imaging of atherosclerosis, including assessment of the 
      composition of atherosclerotic plaques, imaging of macrophages within the 
      plaques, and molecular imaging of biomarkers associated with formation and 
      development of plaques. In addition, imaging of coronary artery stents using IVPA 
      and IVUS imaging is demonstrated. Furthermore, the design of an integrated 
      IVUS/IVPA imaging catheter needed for in vivo clinical applications is discussed.
