- Title
Collection on clinical photoacoustic imaging.

- Abstract
This document is an editorial from the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging discussing the use of photoacoustic imaging (PAI) in clinical settings. PAI is a novel imaging modality that uses near-infrared light to examine biochemical processes in the human body. It offers a different approach to optical imaging by resolving the absorption of light based on ultrasound detection. PAI has shown promise in early cancer detection, diagnosis of inflammatory processes, and evaluation of metabolic dysfunction or tissue degeneration. The editorial emphasizes the need for standardized methodology and universal standards to benchmark the performance of different imaging systems. The Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging community is encouraged to play a role in facilitating the clinical translation of PAI. The document invites researchers, clinicians, and industry partners to contribute to a collection that aims to bridge the gap between preclinical research and clinical practice in PAI.
