After a lightning strike, thunder can be heard for a short period of time. This is due to the fact that the surrounding material that was struck by lightning absorbs the light, and as a result of the conversion of this light into heat, the material expands and produces a sound. The imaging technique known as photoacoustic imaging (PAI), which uses this phenomenon to take photographs of the inside of the body, is being explored as a new medical imaging device in various preclinical and clinical applications.
