Ultrasound modulated bioluminescence tomography is an imaging method which can be formulated as a hybrid inverse source problem. In the regime where light propagation is modeled by a radiative transfer equation, previous approaches to this problem require large numbers of optical measurements (Bal et al 2016 SIAM J. Math. Anal.
48 1332). Here we propose an alternative solution for this inverse problem which requires only a single optical measurement in order to reconstruct the isotropic source. Specifically, we derive two inversion formulae based on Neumann series and Fredholm theory respectively, and prove their convergence under sufficient conditions. The resulting numerical algorithms are implemented and experimented to reconstruct both continuous and discontinuous sources in the presence of noise.
We develop a linearized boundary control method for the inverse boundary value problem of determining a potential in the acoustic wave equation from the Neumann-to-Dirichlet map. When the linearization is at the zero potential, we derive a reconstruction formula based on the boundary control method and prove that it is of Lipschitz-type stability. When the linearization is at a nonzero potential, we prove that the problem is of H"{o}lder-type stability in two and higher dimensions. The proposed reconstruction formula is implemented and evaluated using several numerical experiments to validate its feasibility.
Ultrasound modulated bioluminescence tomography (UMBLT) is an imaging method which can be formulated as a hybrid inverse source problem. In the regime where light propagation is modeled by a radiative transfer equation, previous approaches to this problem require large numbers of optical measurements [10]. Here we propose an alternative solution for this inverse problem which requires only a single optical measurement in order to reconstruct the isotropic source. Specifically, we derive two inversion formulae based on Neumann series and Fredholm theory respectively, and prove their convergence under sufficient conditions. The resulting numerical algorithms are implemented and experimented to reconstruct both continuous and discontinuous sources in the presence of noise.
We present a non-iterative algorithm to reconstruct the isotropic acoustic wave speed from the measurement of the Neumann-to-Dirichlet map. The algorithm is designed based on the boundary control method and involves only computations that are stable. We prove the convergence of the algorithm and present its numerical implementation. The effectiveness of the algorithm is validated on both constant speed and variable speed, with full and partial boundary measurement as well as different levels of noise.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
