光声成像(PAI)是一种新兴的生物医学成像方式,能够提供光学和超声(US)成像的高对比度和高分辨率。当短时间激光脉冲照射作为成像目标的组织时,组织会产生美国波,探测到的波可以用来重建组织的光吸收分布。由于接收到的部分PA波由美国波组成,大量的美国成像中的波束形成算法都可以应用于PA成像。延迟与和(DAS)是美国成像中最常见的波束形成算法。然而,使用DAS波束形成器导致图像分辨率低,离轴信号贡献大。为了解决这些问题,提出了一种新的美国成像方法,即延迟乘和(DMAS)算法,并将其作为乳腺癌共焦微波成像中的一种重建算法。将DMAS算法应用于PA成像系统中,结果表明该算法在提高分辨率的同时降低了旁瓣。然而,在存在高噪声的情况下,重建图像仍然受到高噪声贡献的影响。本文在DMAS公式扩展的基础上,提出了一种改进的DMAS波束形成算法。定量和定性的结果表明,该方法在降低对比度的代价下,具有更好的降噪效果和分辨率提高效果。在仿真中,采用两点目标和两个成像深度的横向变化,并在成像介质中的高噪声水平下对其进行评估。与DMAS相比,本文提出的算法可以减少约19 dB的侧向谷值,从而得到更清晰的两点目标。此外,旁瓣电平降低约25分贝。

英文摘要:
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an emerging biomedical imaging modality capable of providing both high contrast and high resolution of optical and UltraSound (US) imaging. When a short duration laser pulse illuminates the tissue as a target of imaging, tissue induces US waves and detected waves can be used to reconstruct optical absorption distribution. Since receiving part of PA consists of US waves, a large number of beamforming algorithms in US imaging can be applied on PA imaging. Delay-and-Sum (DAS) is the most common beamforming algorithm in US imaging. However, make use of DAS beamformer leads to low resolution images and large scale of off-axis signals contribution. To address these problems a new paradigm namely Delay-Multiply-and-Sum (DMAS), which was used as a reconstruction algorithm in confocal microwave imaging for breast cancer detection, was introduced for US imaging. Consequently, DMAS was used in PA imaging systems and it was shown this algorithm results in resolution enhancement and sidelobe degrading. However, in presence of high level of noise the reconstructed image still suffers from high contribution of noise. In this paper, a modified version of DMAS beamforming algorithm is proposed based on DAS inside DMAS formula expansion. The quantitative and qualitative results show that proposed method results in more noise reduction and resolution enhancement in expense of contrast degrading. For the simulation, two-point target, along with lateral variation in two depths of imaging are employed and it is evaluated under high level of noise in imaging medium. Proposed algorithm in compare to DMAS, results in reduction of lateral valley for about 19 dB followed by more distinguished two-point target. Moreover, levels of sidelobe are reduced for about 25 dB.
