Ultrasound (US) imaging has been widely used to guide ablation procedures. While US imaging offers significant advantages for guiding ablation procedures, its limitations include low imaging contrast, angular dependency, and limited ability to monitor the temperature. Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is a relatively new imaging modality that inherits the advantages of US imaging and offers enhanced capabilities for laser-guided ablations, such as accurate, angle-independent tracking of ablation catheters, the potential for quantitative thermometry, and monitoring thermal lesion formation. This work provides an overview of ultrasound-guided procedures and how different US-related artifacts limit their utility, followed by introducing PA as complementary to US as a solution to address the existing limitations and improve ablation outcomes. Furthermore, we highlight the integration of PA-driven features into existing US-guided laser ablation systems, along with their limitations and future outlooks. Integrated US\/PA-guided laser ablation procedures can lead to safer and more precise treatment outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24113542","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,31]],"date-time":"2024-05-31T03:46:49Z","timestamp":1717127209000},"page":"3542","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Ultrasound and Photoacoustic Imaging for the Guidance of Laser Ablation Procedures"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Samuel","family":"John","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Imaging Science, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY 14642, USA"}]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Imaging Science, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY 14642, USA"}]},{"given":"Shirin","family":"Abbasi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Imaging Science, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY 14642, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9264-9354","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad","family":"Mehrmohammadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Imaging Science, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY 14642, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Peters, T.M.
