Abstract

In photoacoustic tomography, the target object is illuminated by a short-pulsed light and multiple ultrasonic transducers are used to measure PA waves. Image reconstruction is needed to create a map of the initial acoustic pressure. In case of insufficient number of projections (views) around the object, the reconstructed image suffers from lower quality. We trained a CNN to improve the quality of less-view breast PA images, using the full-view reconstructions as ground-truth. The proposed network can reduce the acquisition time while preserving image quality.
