Computed Tomography

Computed Tomography

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:

Biomedical Imaging
Medical Physics
Optical Engineering

Background:

High-frequency photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) offers superior spatial resolution for biological tissue imaging.
Existing PACT systems face limitations due to sampling rates below the Nyquist criterion for high-frequency signals (>30 MHz).

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a novel PACT imaging method utilizing sub-Nyquist sampling.
To enable high-frequency PACT imaging with reduced sampling rate requirements.

Main Methods:

Implementation of a sub-Nyquist sampling strategy for PACT signal acquisition.
Validation through numerical simulations, phantom experiments, and in vivo studies.

Main Results:

The proposed method successfully achieved high-frequency PACT imaging at lower sampling rates.
An axial resolution of 22 μm was obtained using a 30-MHz transducer and a 41.67-MHz sampling rate.
This represents the highest axial resolution reported for PACT with sampling rates ≤ 60 MHz.

Conclusions:

Sub-Nyquist sampling provides a practical solution for high-frequency PACT imaging.
The developed method overcomes current hardware limitations in PACT systems.
This advancement is expected to facilitate more detailed visualization of biological tissues.
