Abstract

This paper describes the implementation of a proposed image reconstruction algorithm for stereo photo-acoustic medical imaging system. The main goal of this algorithm is to evaluate the existence possibility of acoustic source within a search area by using the geometric information which is the distance between each sensor element of ultrasound probe and corresponding searching point. We briefly describe the proposed algorithm in this paper which was comprehensively and clearly explained in our previous paper \cite{ref40}. We also discussed an algorithm that is calculated the arc length of searching area corresponding to an element of acoustic detector. In this paper, some experimental results are presented which utilized the proposed algorithm with and without calculating arc length. We also compared the image quality of the proposed algorithm with and without calculating arc length and conventional k-wave algorithm in which FFT should be used. Apart from implementing the proposed algorithm with k-wave toolbox, we also implemented the hardware and software aspects of an ultrasound system that is explained in hardware implementation section of this paper. The simulation results proved the effectiveness of the proposed reconstruction algorithm with arc length calculation.
