Atherosclerosis is a disease characterized by the narrowing of the arteries as a result of plaque buildup. Lipid-rich plaques are hypothesized to be ‘vulnerable’ plaques with higher risks of rupture. In order to identify lipid biomarkers in-vivo, we use an in-house built photoacoustic imaging microscope system in tandem with mass spectrometer imaging for lipid full characterization. We show photoacoustic lipid spectra of sectioned human carotid endarterectomy samples on histological glass slides to unravel a photoacoustic lipid spectral histology ranging from 1140 nm to 1250 nm. We relate the spectral features identified by PAM to lipids found by mass spectrometry imaging.
