The invention discloses a sound velocity-density inversion method in quantitative
ultrasonic tomography and a related device, and relates to the technical field of
medical imaging, and the method comprises the steps: firstly obtaining an original ultrasonic
signal collected by the quantitative
ultrasonic tomography as a to-be-processed ultrasonic
signal, and then carrying out the reconstruction through a
delay summation method to obtain an initial reconstruction image; and inputting the two into a sound velocity-density inversion model, and outputting a sound velocity
distribution diagram and a
density distribution diagram. The model is of a supervised double U-Net architecture and comprises double encoders, double decoders and a cross-path
feature fusion unit, the double encoders extract ultrasonic
signal physical features and initial image structural features respectively, the double decoders are responsible for reconstruction of two parameters respectively, and the cross-path
feature fusion unit achieves feature interaction. According to the scheme, the calculation
bottleneck of a traditional physical constraint method is avoided through the double-architecture design, the problem of unstable training is solved through cross-path fusion, the inversion precision, efficiency and stability are finally considered, and the physical consistency of reconstruction results is ensured.
