GPU-Accelerated 3D Volumetric X-Ray-Induced Acoustic Computed Tomography

Author(s): Donghyun Lee, Eun-Yeong Park, Seongwook Choi, Hyeongsub Kim, Jung-joon Min, Changho Lee, and Chulhong Kim ABSTRACT X-ray acoustic imaging is a hybrid biomedical imaging technique that can acoustically monitor X-ray absorption distribution in biological tissues through the X-ray induced acoustic effect. In this study, we developed a 3D volumetric X-ray-induced acoustic computed tomography (XACT) […]

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 […]

MASSIVE PARALLEL ULTRASOUND AND PHOTOACOUSTIC PC-BASED SYSTEM

Authors: Weylan Thompson, Hans Peter Brecht, Sergey Ermilov, Vassili Ivanov ABSTRACT PhotoSound Technologies specializes in the development of electronics solutions for massive parallel data acquisition applicable to the fields of photoacoustics (PA), X-ray acoustics, including 3D dosimetry, and ultrasound. PhotoSound’s Legion ADC256 R1.1, released in 2018, is a 256-channel 12-bit ADC with a sampling rate […]

DEEP LEARNING ENABLED REAL-TIME PHOTOACOUSTIC TOMOGRAPHY SYSTEM VIA SINGLE DATA ACQUISITION CHANNEL

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 […]
