Scanning microwave-induced thermoacoustic tomography: signal, resolution, and contrast.
Scanning thermoacoustic tomography was explored in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Short microwave pulses were used to induce acoustic waves by thermoelastic expansion in biological tissues. Cross sections of tissue samples were imaged by a linear scan of the samples while a focused ultrasonic transducer detected the time-resolved thermoacoustic signals. Based on the micro...
متن کاملMicrowave-induced thermoacoustic tomography using multi-sector scanning.
A study of microwave-induced thermoacoustic tomography of inhomogeneous tissues using multi-sector scanning is presented. A short-pulsed microwave beam is used to irradiate the tissue samples. The microwave absorption excites time-resolved acoustic waves by thermoelastic expansion. The amplitudes of the acoustic waves are strongly related to locally absorbed microwave-energy density. The acoust...
متن کاملMicrowave-induced thermoacoustic scanning CT for high-contrast and noninvasive breast cancer imaging.
A fast thermoacoustic computed tomography system with a multielement linear transducer array was developed to image biological tissues with circular scanning. The spatial resolution of the imaging system and the spectra of the thermoacoustic signals were analyzed. A modified integration backprojection algorithm using velocity potential was employed to recover the direct energy deposition distri...
متن کاملSignal processing in scanning thermoacoustic tomography in biological tissues.
Microwave-induced thermoacoustic tomography was explored to image biological tissues. Short microwave pulses irradiated tissues to generate acoustic waves by thermoelastic expansion. The microwave-induced thermoacoustic waves were detected with a focused ultrasonic transducer to obtain two-dimensional tomographic images of biological tissues. The dependence of the axial and the lateral resoluti...
