Author(s): Hengrong Lan, Daohuai Jiang, Changchun Yang, Feng Gao, Fei Gao ABSTRACT Conventional reconstruction algorithms (e.g., delay-and-sum) used in photoacoustic imaging (PAI) provide a fast solution while many artifacts remain, especially for limited-view with ill-posed problem. In this paper, we propose a new convolutional neural network (CNN) framework Y-Net: a CNN architecture to reconstruct the initial PA pressure distribution by optimizing both raw data and beamformed images […]

RADIATION-INDUCED ACOUSTIC SIGNAL DENOISING USING A SUPERVISED DEEP LEARNING FRAMEWORK FOR IMAGING AND THERAPY MONITORING
Author(s): Zhuoran Jiang, Siqi Wang, Yifei Xu, Leshan Sun, Gilberto Gonzalez, Yong Chen, Q. Jackie Wu, Liangzhong Xiang, Lei Ren ABSTRACT Radiation-induced acoustic (RA) imaging is a promising technique for visualizing radiation energy deposition in tissues, enabling new imaging modalities and real-time therapy monitoring. However, it requires measuring hundreds or even thousands of averages to achieve satisfactory signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). This repetitive […]
AUTOMATIC FORCE-CONTROLLED 3D PHOTOACOUSTIC SYSTEM FOR HUMAN PERIPHERAL VASCULAR IMAGING
Author(s): David C. Garrett, Jinhua Xu, Geng Ku, and Lihong V. Wang ABSTRACT We developed a system for whole-body human ultrasound tomography in reflection and transmission modes. A custom 512-element ultrasound receiver array with a rotating single-element ultrasound transmitter are used to generate 2D isotropically resolved images across the entire human cross-section. We demonstrate this […]
DUAL-SCAN PHOTOACOUSTIC TOMOGRAPHY FOR THE IMAGING OF VASCULAR STRUCTURE ON FOOT
Author(s): Chuqin Huang, Yanda Cheng, Wenhan Zheng, Robert W Bing, Huijuan Zhang, Isabel Komornicki, Linda M Harris, Praveen R Arany, Saptarshi Chakraborty, Qifa Zhou, Wenyao Xu, Jun Xia ABSTRACT Chronic leg ulcers are affecting approximately 6.5 million Americans, and they are associated with significant mortality, reduced quality of life, and high treatment costs. Since many […]
EVALUATION OF ULTRASOUND SENSORS FOR TRANSCRANIAL PHOTOACOUSTIC SENSING AND IMAGING
Author(s): Thomas Kirchner, Claus Villringer, and Jan Laufer ABSTRACT Significance: Biomedical photoacoustic (PA) imaging is typically used to exploit absorption-based contrast in soft tissue at depths of several centimeters. When it is applied to measuring PA waves generated in the brain, the acoustic properties of the skull bone cause not only strong attenuation but also […]
HIGH-SPEED THREE-DIMENSIONAL PHOTOACOUSTIC COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY FOR PRECLINICAL RESEARCH AND CLINICAL TRANSLATION
Authors: Li Lin, Peng Hu, Xin Tong, Rui Cao, Xiaoyun Yuan, David C. Garrett, Junhui Shi, Konstantin Maslov & Lihong V. Wang ABSTRACT Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) has generated increasing interest for uses in preclinical research and clinical translation. However, the imaging depth, speed, and quality of existing PACT systems have previously limited the potential […]
