Abstract
The limited frequency bandwidth of the ultrasound transducer used as receivers in photoacoustic imaging (PAI) has a significant impact on the resolution and depth of the reconstructed image. Therefore, for clinical applications, PAI may require the use of a low or high-frequency transducer depending on the application. Here we propose an adaptive spectral PAI algorithm based on prior information of multiple linear array ultrasound transducers ranging from 1-50 MHz, to retrieve tissue molecular components from micro to macro scale. The method includes multiple modules to coherently unmix molecular components at multi-scale. Results on numerical simulations and human imaging demonstrate that the adaptive method can effectively merge multiple-scale molecular imaging and substantially improve PAI quality.
