Distributed Compressive Sensing Algorithm For Photoacoustic Tomography, Maha Abdulwahab Hassan Shehada

Electrical Engineering Theses

Biomedical imaging techniques are playing an essential role in diagnosing different kinds of diseases, which always motivates the search for improving their sensitivity and accuracy. Photoacoustic Tomography (PAT) is one of the most powerful techniques. PAT has many advantages as it is less expensive and faster than Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). It combines the advantages of optical imaging and ultrasound imaging as it provides high contrast, high penetration, and high-resolution images for biological tissues. Also, it uses non-ionizing radiation which is very safe for human health. The main challenge in PAT is that human tissues can be exposed only to …
