Computed Tomography

5.5K
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Optics

Background:

  • Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a promising imaging modality with clinical potential.
  • Limited-view angle and bandwidth in PAT systems cause artifacts, hindering image quality.
  • Experimental comparisons between limited-view and full-view PAT are scarce.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and experimentally validate a near full-view photoacoustic tomography system.
  • To address key limitations of limited-view angle and bandwidth in PAT.
  • To demonstrate the advantages of a full-view setup over conventional methods.

Main Methods:

  • A custom ring-shaped detector array was mounted on a 6-axis robot for rotation and translation.
  • Achieved up to 3.8π steradian view angle coverage.
  • System optimization using negativity artifact minimization and phantom imaging (star contrast, synthetic breast tumor, vascular phantoms).

Main Results:

  • Optimized angular/rotation scans required approximately 212 effective detectors for high-quality images.
  • Used 15-mm steps for adjustable field of view based on object size.
  • Successfully imaged phantoms with clear features and minimal artifacts.

Conclusions:

  • A near full-view closed spherical PAT system was successfully developed.
  • This system experimentally demonstrates the significant advantages of full-view PAT.
  • Paves the way for future research and clinical translation of improved PAT.
