Capitalizing on the principle of acoustic diffraction, Wang et al. developed a second‐generation slit‐based photoacoustic tomography technique, which dramatically improved the elevation resolution of a linear transducer array and enabled high‐quality three dimensional imaging of human arm and palm vasculatures in vivo. The cover picture includes depth‐encoded (0 to 15 mm) vascular images from different volunteers. Further details can be found in the article by Yuehang Wang et al. on pp. 799–804.
