Abstract

The invention provides a method for econstructing specific conductivity of thermoacoustic tomography based on the principle of current injection thermoacoustic tomography. A pulse current is injected into an imaging object via an electrode to generate joule heat in the imaging object, which then induces thermal expansion and generates an ultrasonic signal, the ultrasonic signal is received by an ultrasonic transducer and then processed and collected, and the specific conductivity images of the object is obtained by a specific conductivity image reconstruction algorithm. The specific steps are as follows: (1) obtaining a current injection type thermoacoustic signal; (2) reconstructing a thermoacoustic source of the object by using the obtained current injection type thermoacoustic signal; (3) reconstructing an electric scalar potential from the thermoacoustic source by a nonlinear finite element solution method; and (4) reconstructing specific conductivity by using the reconstructed electric scalar potential.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a conductivity image reconstruction method, in particular to a conductivity reconstruction method of injection current thermoacoustic imaging. Background technique [0002] Due to the limitation of excitation frequency, the sensitivity and spatial resolution of traditional electrical impedance imaging techniques are not high. A single field has its physical limitations. In multi-physics imaging, one physical field provides resolution, and the other provides contrast, so that both contrast and resolution can be improved at the same time. The multi-physics field imaging technology combining electromagnetic field and ultrasound has become a research hotspot because of the high contrast of electromagnetic field to human tissue conductivity and the high-resolution characteristics of ultrasonic detection. Magnetothermoacoustic imaging is an emerging multi-physics Physical field imaging technology. [0003] Magnetothermoacoustic ima...
