REAL-TIME PHOTOACOUSTIC DATA ACQUISITION WITH A THOUSAND PARALLEL CHANNELS AT HUNDREDS FRAMES PER SECOND
Authors: Vassili Ivanov, Hans Peter Brecht, Sergey A. Ermilov ABSTRACT Large number of simultaneously acquired spatially distinct pressure signals is required to improve quality of real-time photoacoustic and x-ray acoustic biomedical images [1]. In the past this approach was limited by availability of commercial multi-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) systems and ability to operate multiple ADC […]
DUAL-MODALITY X-RAY-INDUCED RADIATION ACOUSTIC AND ULTRASOUND IMAGING FOR REAL-TIME MONITORING OF RADIOTHERAPY
Authors: Wei Zhang,1 Ibrahim Oraiqat,2 Hao Lei,3 Paul L. Carson,1,4 Issam EI Naqa,2 and Xueding Wang1,4 ABSTRACT Objective. The goal is to increase the precision of radiation delivery during radiotherapy by tracking the movements of the tumor and other surrounding normal tissues due to respiratory and other body motions. Introduction. This work presents the recent advancement of X-ray-induced radiation acoustic imaging (xRAI) […]
IN SITU X-RAY-INDUCED ACOUSTIC COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY WITH A CONTRAST AGENT: A PROOF OF CONCEPT
Authors: Seongwook Choi,1; Sinyoung Park,1; Ayoung Pyo,2; Dong-Yeon Kim,3 ; Jung-Joon Min,4 ; Changho Lee,4,5,6; Chulhong Kim,1,7 ABSTRACT X-ray-induced acoustic computed tomography (XACT) has shown great potential as a hybrid imaging modality for real-time non-invasive x-ray dosimetry and low-dose three- dimensional (3D) imaging. While promising, one drawback of the XACT system is the underlying low signal-to-noise ratio […]
REAL-TIME, VOLUMETRIC IMAGING OF RADIATION DOSE DELIVERY DEEP INTO THE LIVER DURING CANCER TREATMENT
Authors: Wei Zhang, Ibrahim Oraiqat, Dale Litzenberg, Kai-Wei Chang, Scott Hadley, Noora Ba Sunbul, Martha M. Matuszak, Christopher J. Tichacek, Eduardo G. Moros, Paul L. Carson, Kyle C. Cuneo, Xueding Wang, & Issam El Naqa ABSTRACT Ionizing radiation acoustic imaging (iRAI) allows online monitoring of radiation’s interactions with tissues during radiation therapy, providing real-time, adaptive […]
EVALUATION OF ULTRASOUND SENSORS FOR TRANSCRANIAL PHOTOACOUSTIC SENSING AND IMAGING
Author(s): Thomas Kirchner, Claus Villringer, and Jan Laufer Video S1. Acoustic propagation through frontal cranial bone in silico. A 3D k-Wave forward simulation of a flat acoustic source with 5 mm diameter. Time series of the pressure distribution in the center slice. The light gray area shows the skull segmentation used for the simulation. ABSTRACT Significance: Biomedical […]
