Abstract

The invention relates to an electric conductivity rebuilding method for magnetocaloric acoustical imaging. The electric conductivity rebuilding method is based on a magnetocaloric acoustical imaging principle. An exciting coil is used for exerting MHz current excitation on a conducting object, joule heat is generated in the conducting object, and further, ultrasonic signals are generated. An ultrasonic transducer is used for receiving the ultrasonic signals, the received ultrasonic signals are processed and collected, and then, an electric conductivity image of the conducting object is obtained by adopting an electric conductivity image rebuilding algorithm. The electric conductivity rebuilding method comprises the concrete steps that 1, firstly, high-signal-to-noise-ratio magnetocaloric acoustical signals are obtained; 2, the obtained magnetocaloric acoustical signals are used for rebuilding to obtain thermal sound source distribution of the conducting object; 3, the thermal sound source distribution and a one-order magnetic vector space component are used, and a non-linear finite element solution method is adopted for rebuilding a scalar potential space component; 4, the rebuilt scalar potential space component is used for rebuilding the electric conductivity.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for reconstructing conductivity images, in particular to a method for reconstructing conductivity for magneto-thermoacoustic 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 electromagnetic field detection contrast 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 improvements in contrast and resoluti...
