Author(s): Hengrong Lan, Daohuai Jiang, Feng Gao, Fei Gao Fig. 1. The overview of the proposed single-channel PACT system. PC: personal computer. Pre-amp: Pre-amplifier. ABSTRACT Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) combines the optical contrast of optical imaging and the penetrability of sonography. In this work, we develop a novel PACT system to provide real-time imaging, which is achieved by a 120-elements ultrasound array only using a single data […]

Y-NET: HYBRID DEEP LEARNING IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION FOR PHOTOACOUSTIC TOMOGRAPHY IN VIVO
Author(s): Hengrong Lan, Daohuai Jiang, Changchun Yang, Feng Gao, Fei Gao Fig. 5. The example of performance comparison using different methods to reconstruct initial pressure. The four examples correspond to four rows; every column corresponds to different method, from left to right: ground-truth, DAS, TR, Y-Net-EIID, Y-Net-EID, post-processing U-Net and Y-Net. DAS: delay-and-sum; TR: time reversal. The white circles indicate the local details. ABSTRACT Conventional reconstruction […]
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 […]

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 […]
