Abstract
AbstractApplied Current Thermoacoustic Imaging (ACTAI) is a new imaging method which combines electromagnetic excitation with ultrasound imaging, and takes ultrasonic signal as medium and biological tissue conductivity as detection target. Taking the high contrast advantage of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) and high resolution advantage of ultrasound imaging, ACTAI has broad application prospects in the field of biomedical imaging. Although ACTAI has high excitation efficiency and strong detectable Signal-to-Noise Ratio, yet while under low frequency electromagnetic excitation, it is still a big challenge to reconstruct a high-resolution image of target conductivity. This paper proposes a new method for reconstructing conductivity based on Generative Adversarial Network, and it consists of three main steps: firstly, use Wiener filtering deconvolution to restore the electrical signal output by the ultrasonic probe to a real acoustic signal. Then obtain the initial acoustic source image with filtered backprojection technology. Finally, match the conductivity image with the initial sound source image, which are used as training samples for generating the adversarial network to establish a deep learning model for conductivity reconstruction. After theoretical analysis and simulation research, it is found that by introducing machine learning, the new method can dig out the inverse problem solving model contained in the data, which further reconstruct a high-resolution conductivity image and has strong anti-interference characteristics. The new method provides a new way to solve the problem of conductivity reconstruction in Applied Current Thermoacoustic Imaging.
