TL;DR
The proposed frequency-domain model-based FDMB method is evaluated against the TR method across various sensor densities, data sampling rates, and perturbations in speed-of-sound maps and sensor locations, highlighting its potential for efficient and accurate 3-D transcranial PACT.
Abstract
Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) offers rich optical contrast combined with the penetration depth of ultrasound for transcranial imaging. However, the skull introduces significant phase aberrations that degrade image quality. While the time-reversal (TR) method can mitigate these acoustic barriers, its computational intensity makes it unsuitable for time-sensitive applications. To overcome these limitations, we propose a frequency-domain model-based (FDMB) method. The performance of the FDMB method is evaluated against the TR method across various sensor densities, data sampling rates, and perturbations in speed-of-sound maps and sensor locations using 3-D numerical modeling. The results show that the proposed method is three orders of magnitude faster than the TR method while maintaining better image quality, highlighting its potential for efficient and accurate 3-D transcranial PACT.
Ultrasound computed tomography is emerging as a promising diagnostic imaging tool. 2D geometries suffer from notorious out-of-plane scattering artifacts. Image reconstruction can be achieved with frequency-domain full waveform inversion and it can be further accelerated by randomly phase-encoding the elementary sources...
Skull-induced acoustic heterogeneity, multipath propagation, and waveform corruption severely degrade structural reconstruction in transcranial thermoacoustic imaging. Conventional methods such as time-reversal and standard full-wave inversion (FWI) typically assume clean measurements or weak heterogeneity, leading to...
Ultrasound technology has become a major research focus in medical imaging because of its noninvasiveness, cost-effectiveness, and safety. However, due to the physical diffraction limit, conventional ultrasound imaging struggles to satisfy increasing clinical demands for resolution and image quality. Reverse time migra...

Abstract. Significance Coherence factor (CF) beamforming can suppress sidelobes in photoacoustic computed tomography, but phase aberration can make genuine absorbers appear incoherent and cause conventional CF to downweight real signals. Aim We aim to reduce photoacoustic volume tomography phase-aberration-induced loss...

Axial resolution and speed are critical system parameters in optical coherence tomography (OCT). In conventional image reconstruction, the fast Fourier transform (FFT) and k-domain resampling are required to improve the axial resolution, which would get worse as the depth increases. In this study, a linear relationship...
The fidelity of image reconstruction from projections in linear inverse problems, such as tomography, is critically dependent on the synergistic interaction between frequency-domain filtering and spatial-domain interpolation. However, a physical model that can quantitatively describe how these two components cascade in...
