Consensus perspective highlights the need for standardized performance metrics in clinical photoacoustic imaging, indicating quality assurance is critical to reliably validate disease biomarkers.

Key Points

To address the lack of standardized methodology across clinical photoacoustic imaging systems and establish unified frameworks for quality control and biomarker validation.
Assessed the translation of photoacoustic imaging (PAI) from preclinical mapping of endogenous chromophores to commercial clinical applications in cancer, Crohn's disease, and arthritis.
Identified consensus-driven objectives through the International Photoacoustic Standardisation Consortium (IPASC) to develop reproducible performance assessment standards.
Identified an urgent necessity for standardized protocols to enable reproducible cross-system comparisons among commercial clinical photoacoustic instruments.
Established thematic priority areas focused on system quality assurance, routine quality control, and the technical validation of precision and accuracy for PAI-derived biomarkers.
