The invention discloses a photoacoustic imaging reflection artifact
elimination method based on a neural network and spatial filtering, which comprises the following steps of: firstly, eliminating internal artifacts of optical signals by adopting singular filtering, and then eliminating boundary artifacts of the optical signals by adopting the neural network. The imaging definition and accuracy are improved, the
contrast ratio and the resolution ratio of the image are enhanced by reducing artifacts and
noise, so that the imaging result is closer to the real situation, the clearer image is beneficial to more accurate diagnosis of doctors, and the reliability of
medical diagnosis is improved. The method is compatible with an existing photoacoustic imaging
system and can be applied to various imaging platforms, the
deep learning technology is utilized, the
data processing efficiency is improved, the requirement for computing resources is reduced, the
deep learning model can stably work under different conditions after being fully trained, and dependence on
prior information is reduced. Compared with some traditional photoacoustic imaging algorithms, the
deep learning method may reduce the demand for computing resources, so that the imaging process is more efficient.
