Photoacoustic tomography with spatially varying compressibility and density
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper investigates photoacoustic tomography with two spatially varying acoustic parameters, the compressibility and the density. We consider the reconstruction of the absorption density parameter (imaging parameter of Photoacoustics) with complete and partial measurement data. We investigate and analyze three different numerical methods for solving the imaging problem and compare the results.

Bayesian parameter estimation in spectral quantitative photoacoustic tomography
Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is an imaging technique combining strong contrast of optical imaging to high spatial resolution of ultrasound imaging. These strengths are achieved via photoacoustic effect, where a spatial absorption of light pulse is converted into a measurable propagating ultrasound wave. The method is seen as a potential tool for small animal imaging, pre-clinical investigatio...
متن کاملQuantitative Photoacoustic Image Reconstruction using Fluence Dependent Chromophores
In biomedical photoacoustic imaging the images are proportional to the absorbed optical energy density, and not the optical absorption, which makes it difficult to obtain a quantitatively accurate image showing the concentration of a particular absorbing chromophore from photoacoustic measurements alone. Here it is shown that the spatially varying concentration of a chromophore whose absorption...

Spatial resolution in photoacoustic and thermoacoustic tomography is ultrasound transducer (detector) bandwidth limited. For a circular scanning geometry the axial (radial) resolution is not affected by the detector aperture, but the tangential (lateral) resolution is highly dependent on the aperture size, and it is also spatially varying (depending on the location relative to the scanning cent...

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is an emerging non-invasiveimaging technique with great potential for a wide range of biomedicalimaging applications. However, the conventional PAT reconstructionalgorithms often provide distorted images with strong artifacts in caseswhen the signals are collected from few measurements or over an aperturethat does not enclose the object. In thi...
متن کاملEstimating chromophore distributions from multiwavelength photoacoustic images.
Biomedical photoacoustic tomography (PAT) can provide qualitative images of biomedical soft tissue with high spatial resolution. However, whether it is possible to give accurate quantitative estimates of the spatially varying concentrations of the sources of photoacoustic contrast-endogenous or exogenous chromophores-remains an open question. Even if the chromophores' absorption spectra are kno...
