Abstract

A conductivity image reconstructing method for magneto-thermoacoustic coupled tomography includes: acquiring a thermoacoustic source distribution of a conductive object by means of time inversion according to an electromagnetic ultrasonic signal received, and performing reconstruction according to the thermoacoustic source distribution to obtain a conductivity distribution of the conductive object. Specially, the method includes: acquiring a thermoacoustic source on a certain level by means of time inversion, acquiring a thermoacoustic source of the conductive object by means of interpolation, performing calculation by means of Biot-Savart's law according to excitation current to obtain a spatial component A1 of primary magnetic vector potential, subjecting the conductive object to spatial discretization, giving an initial value [Sigma]<0> of conductivity, according to the theorem of current continuity, solving a spatial component [Phi] <1> of scalar potential with the initial value [Sigma]<0> and the spatial component A1, substituting the spatial component [Phi]<1> of the scalar potential to a relation which the thermoacoustic source and conductivity meet so as to obtain updated conductivity [Sigma]<1>, replacing the initial value [Sigma]<0> with the updated conductivity [Sigma]<1>, repeating the process above, and stopping iteration until a relative error of the conductivity meets an equation: Sigma=||([Sigma]1-[Sigma]0) / [Sigma]0||2<=Sigma0.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for reconstructing a conductivity image, in particular to a method for reconstructing a conductivity image of magneto-thermal-acoustic coupling imaging. Background technique [0002] At present, the sensitivity and spatial resolution of traditional electrical impedance imaging technology are not high, mainly because electrical impedance imaging usually uses electromagnetic waves with low frequency as excitation. Since the wavelength is much larger than the imaging object, the detection contrast of the electromagnetic field is high, but the resolution is low. Needless to say, a single field has its physical limitations. Therefore, multi-physics imaging technology has received more and more attention, that is, one physical field acts on biological tissue and converts it into another physical field for detection. One physical field provides resolution, and the other provides contrast. , achieving simultaneous improvemen...
