Based on the energy conversion of light into sound, photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) is an emerging biomedical imaging modality and has unique applications in a range of biomedical fields. In PACT, image formation relies on a process called acoustic inversion from received photoacoustic signals. While most PACT systems perform this inversion with a basic assumption that biological tissues are acoustically homogeneous, the community gradually realizes that the intrinsic acoustic heterogeneity of tissues could pose distortions and artifacts to finally formed images. This paper surveys the most recent research progress on acoustic heterogeneity correction in PACT. Four major strategies are reviewed in detail, including half-time or partial-time reconstruction, autofocus reconstruction by optimizing sound speed maps, joint reconstruction of optical absorption and sound speed maps, and ultrasound computed tomography (USCT) enhanced reconstruction. The correction of acoustic heterogeneity helps improve the imaging performance of PACT.

Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer

Ultrasound computed tomography (USCT) systems based on capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) arrays have a wide range of application prospects. For this paper, a high-precision image reconstruction method based on the propagation path of ultrasound in breast tissue are designed for the CMUT ring array; that is, time-reversal algorithms and FBP algorithms are respectively used to reconstruct sound speed distribution and acoustic attenuation distribution. The feasibility of this reconstruction method is verified by numerical simulation and breast model experiments. According to reconstruction results, sound speed distribution reconstruction deviation can be reduced by 53.15% through a time-reversal algorithm based on wave propagation theory. The attenuation coefficient distribution reconstruction deviation can be reduced by 61.53% through FBP based on ray propagation theory. The research results in this paper will provide key technological support for a new generation of ultrasound computed tomography systems.
