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

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

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 ...

3D Reconstruction Of Wave-Propagated Point Sources From Boundary Measurements Using Joint Sparsity And Finite Rate Of Innovation

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

Reconstruction of point sources from boundary measurements is a challenging problem in many applications. Recently, we proposed a new sensing and non-iterative reconstruction scheme for systems governed by the three-dimensional wave equation. The points so ...

Robust Array Calibration Using Time Delays with Application to Ultrasound Tomography

Martin Vetterli, Olivier Roy, Ivana Jovanovic

Accurate calibration is a requirement of many array signal processing techniques. We investigate the calibration of a transducer array using time delays. We derive a strategy based on the mean square error criterion and discuss how time delays that are not ...

Robust Ultrasound Travel-time Tomography Using the Bent Ray Model

Martin Vetterli, Olivier Roy, Ali Hormati, Ivana Jovanovic

We present a bent ray reconstruction algorithm for an ultrasound tomography (UT) scanner designed for breast screening. The scanner consists of a circular array of transmitters and receivers which encloses the object to be imaged. By solving a nonlinear sy ...

Ultrasound Tomography with Learned Dictionaries

Martin Vetterli, Pascal Frossard, Ivana Jovanovic, Ivana Tosic

We propose a new method for imaging sound speed in breast tissue from measurements obtained by ultrasound tomography (UST) scan- ners. Given the measurements, our algorithm finds a sparse image representation in an overcomplete dictionary that is adapted t ...

Temperature Monitoring During Tissue Freezing Using Ultrasound Speed Measurements

Martin Vetterli, Ali Hormati, Ivana Jovanovic

A major limitation of thermal therapies is the lack of detailed thermal information needed to monitor the therapy. Temperatures are routinely measured invasively with thermocouples, but only sparse measurements can be made. Ultrasound tomography is an attr ...

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 ...

Inverse problems in acoustic tomography : theory and applications

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 ...
