研究目的
To develop a method for reconstructing the optical absorption profile in photoacoustic imaging using a discrete linear state space model that accounts for acoustic attenuation and laser intensity decrease, and to optimize the laser modulation signal for improved accuracy.
研究成果
The proposed state space model effectively reconstructs absorption profiles in photoacoustic imaging, accounting for acoustic attenuation and laser intensity decrease. It allows for arbitrary laser modulation signals and inhomogeneous probes. Optimization of the laser signal significantly improves reconstruction accuracy compared to conventional pulses or chirps. The method is general and can be extended to higher dimensions via a two-stage process.
研究不足
The model is 1D and assumes specific discretization parameters; it may not fully capture 2D or 3D complexities without additional steps. The optimization of laser modulation signals is computationally demanding and may not find global minima. Process noise in the model is neglected in some analyses, and the method requires accurate knowledge of material parameters.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses a discrete linear state space model derived from Stokes' partial differential equation to model photoacoustic wave propagation with attenuation. Finite differences are applied for discretization in 1D space, and the model is analyzed for stability, observability, and controllability.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Synthetic measurement data are generated using the state space model with specified parameters (e.g., spatial and temporal resolutions, noise levels). The absorption profile is assumed arbitrary and inhomogeneous.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
No specific physical equipment is mentioned; the work is computational, using models and simulations.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The PDE is discretized into a state space model; measurements are simulated with added Gaussian noise; various estimators (least squares, Tikhonov regularization, damped SVD) are applied to estimate the absorption profile; laser modulation signals are optimized to minimize estimation error.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Statistical analysis includes root mean square error (RMSE) calculations, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) evaluation, and use of regularization techniques (Tikhonov, DSVD) implemented with MATLAB tools like the regularization toolbox and IR Tools.
