Three PULSE Lab abstracts were accepted to SPIE Photonics West, which took place place January 17-22, 2026. The following work was be presented:
- Enslein J, Tripathi M, Panigrahi B, Myers K, Bell MAL, Comparison of skin tone and target detectability in simulated, tissue-mimicking phantom, and clinical photoacoustic breast images, Proceedings of SPIE Photonics West, San Francisco, CA, January 17-22, 2026
- Drabek JU, Tripathi M, Enslein J, Myers K, Panigrahi B, Bell MAL, Learning from skinless datasets to improve target detectability in photoacoustic breast imaging across skin tones, Proceedings of SPIE Photonics West, San Francisco, CA, January 17-22, 2026
- Zhang J, Li C, Bell MAL, Investigating photoacoustic imaging with augmented reality for surgical guidance applications, Proceedings of SPIE Photonics West, San Francisco, CA, January 17-22, 2026
Congratulations to Jamie, Julia, and Junhao!
In addition to the accepted papers, Prof. Bell was invited to speak on recent work from the PULSE Lab:
- Bell MAL, Standardization and quantification of skin tone measurements for patient-centered, optics‑based biomedical devices, Proceedings of SPIE Photonics West, San Francisco, CA, January 17-22, 2026
And, Prof. Bell co-hosted the three-minute poster competition as EIC of JBO.
