A: Single-wavelength photoacoustic image (710 nm) overlaying ultrasound image with ablated and non-ablated ROIs. B: Mean ROI photoacoustic signal plotted vs wavelength. C: Tissue characterization map (TCM). D: Reference spectra for ablated (averaged over eight samples from two hearts) and non-ablated (derived from optical extinction data from deoxyhemoglobin) tissue.
