A real-time photoacoustic tomography (PAT) system is developed using a linear array probe and phantom images are acquired with a pattern of line structure. Moreover, it is attempted to detect line structures from the acquired images by Hough transform. This effort leads to the measurement of a process of magenta passing through a tube and acquisition of images at a speed of about 2 frame/sec. Besides, it is confirmed that the Hough transform applied on the acquired PAT images has the detection…

Full-field 3D photoacoustic imaging based on plane transducer array and spatial phase-controlled algorithm.
TLDR
Experimental results showed that spatial phase-controlled algorithm based on plane transducer array and PDA system was capable of static and dynamic 3D PAI, which can avoid the long-term exposure to light source and it is safer than the current PAI for in vivo imaging.

Signal processing for photoacoustic tomography
TLDR
This study examines one of the open problems yet to solve in photoacoustic tomography and provides some advancement in signal processing for dealing the projection issue while considering different perspectives in the interpretation of the transport model to be applied in a broader manner.
Universal back-projection algorithm for photoacoustic computed tomography.
We report results of a reconstruction algorithm for three-dimensional photoacoustic computed tomography. A universal back-projection formula is presented for three types of imaging geometries:…
Vessel filtering of photoacoustic images
TLDR
The classical Hessian filter is shown to be highly effective at removing noise and highlighting vessels, at the expense of reducing the sharpness of vessel edges.
