Photoacoustic Imaging of Epilepsy

Abstract

This research is aimed at developing a new imaging approach, called Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) , for non-invasively tracking dynamical changes during seizure occurrence. The project will develop imaging hardware and software, and conduct phantom/in vivo experiments to achieve the proposed goals. During the first year of this project, we have completed the design of the proposed array based PAT system based on the extensive modeling and testing of the key components needed for the system. We have also implemented a number of novel schemes that can enhance our current reconstruction software. We have conducted phantom experiments that confirmed our software enhancement.
