Results from the application of a novel nonlinear hybrid reconstruction algorithm within a Digital Image Elasto-Tomography (DIET) system are presented. A hybrid reconstruction algorithm was optimized to solve for the elasticity distribution of two heterogeneous silicone phantoms using a shape-based parameterization. The hybrid algorithm achieved comparable performance to Combinatorial Optimization methods with significantly less computational expense. The specificity of three-parameter reconstruction was confirmed by successful reconstruction of a homogeneous silicone phantom, indicating the potential suitability of the DIET system for application to inclusion imaging in elastography.
提出了一种新颖的非线性混合重建算法在数字图像弹性层析成像(DIET)系统中的应用结果。优化了一种混合重建算法,以基于形状的参数化方法求解两个非均质硅树脂模型的弹性分布。混合算法在计算成本显著降低的情况下,达到了与组合优化方法相当的性能。通过对均匀硅树脂模型的成功重建,证实了三参数重建的特异性,表明 DIET 系统有可能适用于弹性成像中的包含物成像。
