非自适应延迟和(DAS)波束形成器是重建光声(PA)图像的常用算法之一。但是,由于DAS的旁瓣高,主瓣宽,重建后的PA图像质量并不理想。相比之下,自适应波束形成器,如最小方差(MV),与DAS相比,可以得到更好的图像。本文提出了一种新的波束形成方法,称为双MV(D-MV),以提高图像质量。结果表明,在MV波束形成器的输出中,加权子阵之间存在一个求和过程。这种总和可以解释为非自适应DAS波束形成器。提出用MV算法代替现有的DAS算法,以减小DAS波束形成器对加权子阵间离轴信号的贡献。数值结果表明,与MV波束形成器相比,该技术的全宽半最大值(FWHM)和信噪比分别平均提高了28.83μm和4.8dB。实验结果表明,与MV波束形成器相比,D-MV波束形成器的半高宽和信噪比分别提高了0.15mm和1.96dB。

英文摘要:
One of the common algorithms used to reconstruct photoacoustic (PA) images is the non-adaptive Delay-and-Sum (DAS) beamformer. However, the quality of the reconstructed PA images obtained by DAS is not satisfying due to its high level of sidelobes and wide mainlobe. In contrast, adaptive beamformers, such as minimum variance (MV), result in an improved image compared to DAS. In this paper, a novel beamforming method, called Double MV (D-MV) is proposed to enhance the image quality compared to the MV. It is shown that there is a summation procedure between the weighted subarrays in the output of the MV beamformer. This summation can be interpreted as the non-adaptive DAS beamformer. It is proposed to replace the existing DAS with the MV algorithm to reduce the contribution of the off-axis signals caused by the DAS beamformer between the weighted subarrays. The numerical results show that the proposed technique improves the full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for about 28.83 \mu m and 4.8 dB in average, respectively, compared to MV beamformer. Also, quantitative evaluation of the experimental results indicates that the proposed D-MV leads to 0.15 mm and 1.96 dB improvement in FWHM and SNR, in comparison with MV beamformer.
