Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Linear probes are mainly used in clinical PA imaging. However, it is difficult for linear probes to acquire the PA signal completely from a point sound source in tissue because the area for signal reception is limited. In the present study, high resolution PA imaging is proposed by receiving the PA signals with linear probes placed at multiple angles around the imaging target to generate a compound PA image. The proposed method was compared to the conventional method with a single linear probe by computer simulation and the proposed method showed significant improvement of resolution and contrast.
