Improving Photoacoustic Inversion on Parabolas
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a novel tomographic imaging paradigm that combines the benefits of ultrasound imaging and optical tomography [8]. When a semitransparent sample is illuminated with a short pulse of electromagnetic energy, then parts of the optical energy become absorbed which in turn induces an acoustic pressure wave inside the sample (see Figure 1.1). The induced acoustic pressure waves are measured outside of the investigated object and used to recover an image of the interior.

Sensitivity of quantitative photoacoustic tomography inversion schemes to experimental uncertainty
The ability to accurately quantify chromophore concentration from photoacoustic images would have a major impact on pre-clinical and clinical imaging. Recent years have seen significant advances in the theoretical understanding of quantitative photoacoustic imaging and in the development of model-based inversion strategies that overcome issues such as non-uniqueness and non-linearity. Neverthel...
متن کاملAccuracy of Approximate Inversion Schemes in Quantitative Photacoustic Imaging
Five numerical phantoms were developed to investigate the accuracy of approximate inversion schemes in the reconstruction of oxygen saturation in photoacoustic imaging. In particular, two types of inversion are considered: Type I, an inversion that assumes fluence is unchanged between illumination wavelengths, and Type II, a method that assumes known background absorption and scattering coeffic...
متن کاملQuantitative determination of chromophore concentrations from 2D photoacoustic images using a nonlinear model-based inversion scheme.
A model-based inversion scheme was used to determine absolute chromophore concentrations from multiwavelength photoacoustic images. The inversion scheme incorporated a forward model, which predicted 2D images of the initial pressure distribution as a function of the spatial distribution of the chromophore concentrations. It comprised a multiwavelength diffusion based model of the light transpor...

Quantitative photoacoustic tomography (QPAT) offers the possibility of highresolution molecular imaging by quantifying molecular concentrations in biological tissue. QPAT comprises two inverse problems: (1) the construction of a photoacoustic image from surface measurements of photoacoustic wave pulses over time, and (2) the determination of the optical properties of the imaged region. The firs...
متن کاملForward and Adjoint Radiance Monte Carlo Models for Quantitative Photoacoustic Imaging
In quantitative photoacoustic imaging, the aim is to recover physiologically relevant tissue parameters such as chromophore concentrations or oxygen saturation. Obtaining accurate estimates is challenging due to the nonlinear relationship between the concentrations and the photoacoustic images. Nonlinear least squares inversions designed to tackle this problem require a model of light transport...
