Fluorescent contrast agents are widely employed in biomedical research. While many studies have reported deep tissue imaging of fluorescent moieties using either fluorescence-based or absorption-based (optoacoustic) imaging systems, no systematic comparison has been performed regarding the actual performance of these imaging modalities in detecting deep-seated fluorescent agents. Herein, an integrated imager combining epi-fluorescence and volumetric optoacoustic imaging capabilities has been employed in order to evaluate image degradation with depth for several commonly-used near-infrared dyes in both modes. We performed controlled experiments in tissue-mimicking phantoms containing deeply embedded targets filled with different concentrations of Alexa Fluor 700, Alexa Fluor 750, indocyanine green (ICG) and IRDye 800CW. The results are further corroborated by multi- modal imaging of ICG through mouse tissues in vivo. It is shown that optoacoustics consistently provides better sensitivity in differentiating fluorescent targets located at depths beyond 2 mm in turbid tissues, as quantified by evaluating image contrast, signal to noise ratio and spatial resolution performance.
