Deep learning enabled real-time photoacoustic tomography system via single data acquisition channel.

ABSTRACT: Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) combines the optical contrast of optical imaging and the penetrability of sonography. In this work, we develop a novel PACT system to provide real-time imaging, which is achieved by a 120-elements ultrasound array only using a single data acquisition (DAQ) channel. To reduce the channel number of DAQ, we superimpose 30 nearby channels' signals together in the analog domain, and shrinking to 4 channels of data (120/30 = 4). Furthermore, a four-to-one delay-line module is designed to combine these four channels' data into one channel before entering the single-channel DAQ, followed by decoupling the signals after data acquisition. To reconstruct the image from four superimposed 30-channels' PA signals, we train a dedicated deep learning model to reconstruct the final PA image. In this paper, we present the preliminary results of phantom and in-vivo experiments, which manifests its robust real-time imaging performance. The significance of this novel PACT system is that it dramatically reduces the cost of multi-channel DAQ module (from 120 channels to 1 channel), paving the way to a portable, low-cost and real-time PACT system.

Just-in-time deep learning for real-time X-ray computed tomography.

Project description:Real-time X-ray tomography pipelines, such as implemented by RECAST3D, compute and visualize tomographic reconstructions in milliseconds, and enable the observation of dynamic experiments in synchrotron beamlines and laboratory scanners. For extending real-time reconstruction by image processing and analysis components, Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are a promising technology, due to their strong performance and much faster run-times compared to conventional algorithms. DNNs may prevent experiment repetition by simplifying real-time steering and optimization of the ongoing experiment. The main challenge of integrating DNNs into real-time tomography pipelines, however, is that they need to learn their task from representative data before the start of the experiment. In scientific environments, such training data may not exist, and other uncertain and variable factors, such as the set-up configuration, reconstruction parameters, or user interaction, cannot easily be anticipated beforehand, either. To overcome these problems, we developed just-in-time learning, an online DNN training strategy that takes advantage of the spatio-temporal continuity of consecutive reconstructions in the tomographic pipeline. This allows training and deploying comparatively small DNNs during the experiment. We provide software implementations, and study the feasibility and challenges of the approach by training the self-supervised Noise2Inverse denoising task with X-ray data replayed from real-world dynamic experiments.

Comparing Deep Learning Frameworks for Photoacoustic Tomography Image Reconstruction.

Project description:Conventional reconstruction methods for photoacoustic images are not suitable for the scenario of sparse sensing and geometrical limitation. To overcome these challenges and enhance the quality of reconstruction, several learning-based methods have recently been introduced for photoacoustic tomography reconstruction. The goal of this study is to compare and systematically evaluate the recently proposed learning-based methods and modified networks for photoacoustic image reconstruction. Specifically, learning-based post-processing methods and model-based learned iterative reconstruction methods are investigated. In addition to comparing the differences inherently brought by the models, we also study the impact of different inputs on the reconstruction effect. Our results demonstrate that the reconstruction performance mainly stems from the effective amount of information carried by the input. The inherent difference of the models based on the learning-based post-processing method does not provide a significant difference in photoacoustic image reconstruction. Furthermore, the results indicate that the model-based learned iterative reconstruction method outperforms all other learning-based post-processing methods in terms of generalizability and robustness.

Deep learning enables ultraviolet photoacoustic microscopy based histological imaging with near real-time virtual staining.

Project description:Histological images can reveal rich cellular information of tissue sections, which are widely used by pathologists in disease diagnosis. However, the gold standard for histopathological examination is based on thin sections on slides, which involves inevitable time-consuming and labor-intensive tissue processing steps, hindering the possibility of intraoperative pathological assessment of the precious patient specimens. Here, by incorporating ultraviolet photoacoustic microscopy (UV-PAM) with deep learning, we show a rapid and label-free histological imaging method that can generate virtually stained histological images (termed Deep-PAM) for both thin sections and thick fresh tissue specimens. With the tissue non-destructive nature of UV-PAM, the imaged intact specimens can be reused for other ancillary tests. We demonstrated Deep-PAM on various tissue preparation protocols, including formalin-fixation and paraffin-embedding sections (7-µm thick) and frozen sections (7-µm thick) in traditional histology, and rapid assessment of intact fresh tissue (~ 2-mm thick, within 15 min for a tissue with a surface area of 5 mm × 5 mm). Deep-PAM potentially serves as a comprehensive histological imaging method that can be simultaneously applied in preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative disease diagnosis.

Limited-View and Sparse Photoacoustic Tomography for Neuroimaging with Deep Learning.

Project description:Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a non-ionizing imaging modality capable of acquiring high contrast and resolution images of optical absorption at depths greater than traditional optical imaging techniques. Practical considerations with instrumentation and geometry limit the number of available acoustic sensors and their "view" of the imaging target, which result in image reconstruction artifacts degrading image quality. Iterative reconstruction methods can be used to reduce artifacts but are computationally expensive. In this work, we propose a novel deep learning approach termed pixel-wise deep learning (Pixel-DL) that first employs pixel-wise interpolation governed by the physics of photoacoustic wave propagation and then uses a convolution neural network to reconstruct an image. Simulated photoacoustic data from synthetic, mouse-brain, lung, and fundus vasculature phantoms were used for training and testing. Results demonstrated that Pixel-DL achieved comparable or better performance to iterative methods and consistently outperformed other CNN-based approaches for correcting artifacts. Pixel-DL is a computationally efficient approach that enables for real-time PAT rendering and improved image reconstruction quality for limited-view and sparse PAT.

Programmable Real-time Clinical Photoacoustic and Ultrasound Imaging System.

Project description:Photoacoustic imaging has attracted interest for its capacity to capture functional spectral information with high spatial and temporal resolution in biological tissues. Several photoacoustic imaging systems have been commercialized recently, but they are variously limited by non-clinically relevant designs, immobility, single anatomical utility (e.g., breast only), or non-programmable interfaces. Here, we present a real-time clinical photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging system which consists of an FDA-approved clinical ultrasound system integrated with a portable laser. The system is completely programmable, has an intuitive user interface, and can be adapted for different applications by switching handheld imaging probes with various transducer types. The customizable photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging system is intended to meet the diverse needs of medical researchers performing both clinical and preclinical photoacoustic studies.

Y-Net: Hybrid deep learning image reconstruction for photoacoustic tomography in vivo.

Project description:Conventional reconstruction algorithms (e.g., delay-and-sum) used in photoacoustic imaging (PAI) provide a fast solution while many artifacts remain, especially for limited-view with ill-posed problem. In this paper, we propose a new convolutional neural network (CNN) framework Y-Net: a CNN architecture to reconstruct the initial PA pressure distribution by optimizing both raw data and beamformed images once. The network combines two encoders with one decoder path, which optimally utilizes more information from raw data and beamformed image. We compared our result with some ablation studies, and the results of the test set show better performance compared with conventional reconstruction algorithms and other deep learning method (U-Net). Both in-vitro and in-vivo experiments are used to validated our method, which still performs better than other existing methods. The proposed Y-Net architecture also has high potential in medical image reconstruction for other imaging modalities beyond PAI.

A Deep Learning Approach for the Photoacoustic Tomography Recovery From Undersampled Measurements.

Project description:Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a propitious imaging modality, which is helpful for biomedical study. However, fast PAT imaging and denoising is an exigent task in medical research. To address the problem, recently, methods based on compressed sensing (CS) have been proposed, which accede the low computational cost and high resolution for implementing PAT. Nevertheless, the imaging results of the sparsity-based methods strictly rely on sparsity and incoherence conditions. Furthermore, it is onerous to ensure that the experimentally acquired photoacoustic data meets CS's prerequisite conditions. In this work, a deep learning-based PAT (Deep-PAT)method is instigated to overcome these limitations. By using a neural network, Deep-PAT is not only able to reconstruct PAT from a fewer number of measurements without considering the prerequisite conditions of CS, but also can eliminate undersampled artifacts effectively. The experimental results demonstrate that Deep-PAT is proficient at recovering high-quality photoacoustic images using just 5% of the original measurement data. Besides this, compared with the sparsity-based method, it can be seen through statistical analysis that the quality is significantly improved by 30% (approximately), having average SSIM = 0.974 and PSNR = 29.88 dB with standard deviation ±0.007 and ±0.089, respectively, by the proposed Deep-PAT method. Also, a comparsion of multiple neural networks provides insights into choosing the best one for further study and practical implementation.

Deep tissue photoacoustic computed tomography with a fast and compact laser system.

Project description:Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) holds great promise for biomedical imaging, but wide-spread implementation is impeded by the bulkiness of flash-lamp-pumped laser systems, which typically weigh between 50 - 200 kg, require continuous water cooling, and operate at a low repetition rate. Here, we demonstrate that compact lasers based on emerging diode technologies are well-suited for preclinical and clinical PACT. The diode-pumped laser used in this study had a miniature footprint (13 × 14 × 7 cm3), weighed only 1.6 kg, and outputted up to 80 mJ per pulse at 1064 nm. In vitro, the laser system readily provided over 4 cm PACT depth in chicken breast tissue. In vivo, in addition to high resolution, non-invasive brain imaging in living mice, the system can operate at 50 Hz, which enabled high-speed cross-sectional imaging of murine cardiac and respiratory function. The system also provided high quality, high-frame rate, and non-invasive three-dimensional mapping of arm, palm, and breast vasculature at multi centimeter depths in living human subjects, demonstrating the clinical viability of compact lasers for PACT.

Deep learning acceleration of iterative model-based light fluence correction for photoacoustic tomography.

Project description:Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a promising imaging technique that can visualize the distribution of chromophores within biological tissue. However, the accuracy of PAT imaging is compromised by light fluence (LF), which hinders the quantification of light absorbers. Currently, model-based iterative methods are used for LF correction, but they require extensive computational resources due to repeated LF estimation based on differential light transport models. To improve LF correction efficiency, we propose to use Fourier neural operator (FNO), a neural network specially designed for estimating partial differential equations, to learn the forward projection of light transport in PAT. Trained using paired finite-element-based LF simulation data, our FNO model replaces the traditional computational heavy LF estimator during iterative correction, such that the correction procedure is considerably accelerated. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves comparable LF correction quality to traditional iterative methods while reducing the correction time by over 30 times.
