摘要翻译:
在光声成像(PAI)中,最常用的波束形成算法是延迟与和(DAS)算法,由于其实现简单。然而,它导致了低质量的图像受高水平的旁瓣的影响。相干因子(CF)可以用来消除DAS重建图像中的旁瓣,但与最小方差(MV)等高分辨率波束形成器相比,分辨率的提高不够。作为线阵PAI中的一种加权算法,提出了采用高分辨率CF(HRCF)加权技术,即用MV代替传统CF公式中现有的DAS。数值和实验证明了HRCF具有较高的性能。模拟结果表明,在深度为40 mm时,与DAS+CF和MV+CF相比,HRCF的全宽半最大值分别提高了91%和15%,信噪比分别提高了40%和14%。与DAS+CF和MV+CF相比,HRCF在20 mm深度处的对比度分别提高了62%和21%

英文摘要:
In Photoacoustic imaging (PAI), the most prevalent beamforming algorithm is delay-and-sum (DAS) due to its simple implementation. However, it results in a low quality image affected by the high level of sidelobes. Coherence factor (CF) can be used to address the sidelobes in the reconstructed images by DAS, but the resolution improvement is not good enough compared to the high resolution beamformers such as minimum variance (MV). As a weighting algorithm in linear-array PAI, it was proposed to use high-resolution-CF (HRCF) weighting technique in which MV is used instead of the existing DAS in the formula of the conventional CF. The higher performance of HRCF was proved numerically and experimentally. The quantitative results obtained with the simulations show that at the depth of 40 mm, in comparison with DAS+CF and MV+CF, HRCF improves the full-width-half-maximum of about 91 % and 15 % and the signal-to-noise ratio about 40 % and 14 %, respectively. Moreover, the contrast ratio at the depth of 20 mm has been improved about 62 % and 21 % by HRCF, compared to DAS+CF and MV+CF, respectively
