Application of a New Sensing Principle for Photoacoustic Imaging of Point Absorbers

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thierry Blu, Ivana Jovanovic, Zafer Dogan

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a hybrid imaging method, which combines ultrasonic and optical imaging modalities, in order to overcome their respective weaknesses and to combine their strengths. It is based on the reconstruction of optical absorption pr ...

A Box Spline Calculus for the Discretization of Computed Tomography Reconstruction Problems

Michaël Unser, Masih Nilchian

B-splines are attractive basis functions for the continuous-domain representation of biomedical images and volumes. In this paper, we prove that the extended family of box splines are closed under the Radon transform and derive explicit formulae for their ...

Extended Focus Optical Coherence Microscopy

Martin Villiger

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an interferometric imaging technique that can provide depth resolved cross-sectional views of biological tissue. OCT employs light with low temporal and yet high spatial coherence. The sample is illuminated point by po ...

Acoustic tomography for scalar and vector fields: theory and application to temperature and wind estimation

Martin Vetterli, Luciano Sbaiz, Ivana Jovanovic

Acoustic tomography is a type of inverse problem. The idea of estimating physical quantities that influence sound propagation by measuring the parameters of propagation has proven to be successful in many practical domains, including temperature and wind e ...

Optical tomography with digital holographic microscopy

Christian Depeursinge, Nicolas Pavillon, Florian Charrière

Three-dimensional optical imaging by tomographic techniques is presented, especially with object rotation in a transmission configuration. In digital holographic microscopy, the complex field is measured, which permits either to study transparent objects w ...

Inverse problems in acoustic tomography

Ivana Jovanovic

Acoustic tomography aims at recovering the unknown parameters that describe a field of interest by studying the physical characteristics of sound propagating through the considered field. The tomographic approach is appealing in that it is non-invasive and ...

Time of flight estimation method using beamforming for acoustic tomography

Martin Vetterli, Olivier Roy, Ali Hormati, Ivana Jovanovic

It is disclosed an acoustic tomography method to improve the time of flight estimation, said method comprising the steps of: sequentially triggering a set of N transmitters so as to generate a sequence of N acoustic waves through a volume being scanned; re ...

Efficient and Stable Acoustic Tomography Using Sparse Reconstruction Methods

Martin Vetterli, Luciano Sbaiz, Ali Hormati, Ivana Jovanovic

We study an acoustic tomography problem and propose a new inversion technique based on sparsity. Acoustic tomography observes the parameters of the medium that influence the speed of sound propagation. In the human body, the parameters that mostly influenc ...

Direct Fourier Tomographic Reconstruction Image-To-Image Filter

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Dominique Zosso

We present an open-source ITK implementation of a direct Fourier method for tomographic reconstruction, applicable to parallel-beam x-ray images. Direct Fourier reconstruction makes use of the central-slice theorem to build a polar 2D Fourier space from th ...
