Reconstructions in ultrasound modulated optical tomography

چکیده
We introduce a mathematical model for ultrasound modulated optical tomography and present a simple reconstruction scheme for recovering the spatially varying optical absorption coefficient from scanning measurements with narrowly focused ultrasound signals. Computational results for this model show that the reconstruction of sharp features of the absorption coefficient is possible. A formal linearization of the model leads to an equation with a Fredholm operator, which explains the stability observed in our numerical experiments.

Signal dependence and noise source in ultrasound-modulated optical tomography.
A Monte Carlo modeling technique was used to simulate ultrasound-modulated optical tomography in inhomogeneous scattering media. The contributions from two different modulation mechanisms were included in the simulation. Results indicate that ultrasound-modulated optical signals are much more sensitive to small embedded objects than unmodulated intensity signals. The differences between embedde...
متن کاملUltrasound-modulated optical computed tomography of biological tissues
An optical imaging technique called ultrasound-modulated optical computed tomography is demonstrated for tomographic imaging of biological tissues. Ultrasound-modulated optical signals are extracted from scattered light to provide projection data for the image reconstruction. A filtered back-projection algorithm is implemented to reconstruct an image reflecting optical tissue properties from an...
متن کاملPhotorefractive detection of tissue optical and mechanical properties by ultrasound modulated optical tomography.
Ultrasound-modulated optical tomography is a developing hybrid imaging modality that combines high optical contrast and good ultrasonic resolution for imaging soft biological tissue. We developed a photorefractive-crystal-based, time-resolved detection scheme with the use of a millisecond long ultrasound burst to image both the optical and the mechanical properties of biological tissues, with i...

متن کاملPulsed ultrasound-modulated optical tomography using spectral-hole burning as a narrowband spectral filter.
We applied a submegahertz nonlinear optical filter afforded by a cryogenically cooled spectral-hole burning crystal to ultrasound-modulated optical tomography. Our experimental results show that this technique, having the largest etendue among all available ultrasound-modulated optical tomography techniques and being immune to speckle decorrelation, offers potential for imaging in vivo and form...
