| Abstract: | Optical absorption images of the tissue mimic phantom including gold nanoparticles were obtained by detecting the ultrasonic velocity-change caused by light irradiation. A series of experimental results showed the possibility as a nanoparticle distribution monitor for the drug delivery system. |
