Bode Plots Construction

Bode Plots Construction

The Bode plot is an essential tool in control system analysis, mapping the frequency response of a system through a magnitude plot and a phase plot, both against a logarithmic frequency axis. To construct a Bode plot, consider the transfer function H(ω):

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability

In linear magnetic materials, like paramagnets and diamagnets, magnetization is proportional to the magnetic field intensity. The constant of proportionality, a dimensionless number, is called magnetic susceptibility. The value of the susceptibility depends on the type of material.
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...

Electrical Conductivity

Electrical Conductivity

In perfect conductors, the electric field inside is always zero due to the abundance of free electrons, which nullify any field by flowing. As a result, any residual charge resides on the surface.
In a practical conductor, an applied electric field may be sustained, causing a flow of electrons, which produce a current. The differential form of the current, the current density, is related to the electric field.
More generally, it is related to the force per unit charge, which involves the...

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...

Background:

Magneto-acousto-electrical tomography (MAET) is a hybrid imaging modality utilizing ultrasound and electrical measurements.
Existing MAET methods primarily reconstruct conductivity boundary information, limiting quantitative analysis.
Accurate conductivity mapping is crucial for soft tissue characterization and disease diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce Quantitative Magneto-Acousto-Electric Computed Tomography (qMAE-CT) for full conductivity distribution reconstruction.
To develop a novel method that surpasses the limitations of boundary-focused MAET techniques.
To enable quantitative conductivity mapping of soft tissues.

Main Methods:

The qMAE-CT forward process is divided into three sequential steps: model-based deconvolution, back-projection, and conductivity reconstruction.
Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) are employed for the conductivity reconstruction phase.
The method was validated using numerical simulations, phantom experiments, and in vitro tissue studies.

Main Results:

qMAE-CT successfully reconstructed the conductivity distribution of irregularly shaped targets.
The method achieved a Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) of 0.815.
A spatial resolution exceeding 4 mm was demonstrated.

Conclusions:

qMAE-CT provides accurate quantitative mapping of soft tissue conductivity distributions.
The developed method offers improved performance over previous MAET techniques.
This technique holds promise for advanced biomedical imaging and diagnostics.
