Thermoacoustic and photoacoustic tomography of thick biological tissues toward breast imaging.
Microwave-based thermoacoustic tomography (TAT) and laser-based photoacoustic tomography (PAT) in a circular scanning configuration were both developed to image deeply seated lesions and objects in biological tissues. Because malignant breast tissue absorbs microwaves more strongly than benign breast tissue, cancers were imaged with good spatial resolution and contrast by TAT in human breast ma...
متن کاملMathematics of Photoacoustic and Thermoacoustic Tomography
This is the manuscript of the chapter for a planned Handbook of Mathematical Methods in Imaging that surveys the mathematical models, problems, and algorithms of the Thermoacoustic (TAT) and Photoacoustic (PAT) Tomography. TAT and PAT represent probably the most developed of the several novel “hybrid” methods of medical imaging. These new modalities combine different physical types of waves (el...
متن کاملSignal processing in scanning thermoacoustic tomography in biological tissues.
Microwave-induced thermoacoustic tomography was explored to image biological tissues. Short microwave pulses irradiated tissues to generate acoustic waves by thermoelastic expansion. The microwave-induced thermoacoustic waves were detected with a focused ultrasonic transducer to obtain two-dimensional tomographic images of biological tissues. The dependence of the axial and the lateral resoluti...
متن کاملMICROWAVE IMAGING OF BIOLOGICAL TISSUES : applied toward breast tumor detection
Microwave imaging is an efficient diagnostic modality for non-invasively visualizing dielectric properties of non-metallic bodies. An increasing interest of this field has been observed during the last decades. Many application areas in biomedicine have been issued, recently the breast tumor detection application using microwave imaging. Many groups are working in the field at the moment for se...
متن کاملViscoelasticity imaging of biological tissues with phase-resolved photoacoustic measurement.
A method for noninvasive viscoelasticity imaging of biological tissues using phase-resolved photoacoustic measurement is presented. We deduced the process of photoacoustic effect on the basis of thermal viscoelasticity theory, and established the relationship between the photoacoustic phase delay and the viscosity-elasticity ratio for soft solids. Agar phantoms with different densities and diff...
