A Reciprocity-Law-Compliant Photoacoustic Forward-Adjoint Operator

Ashkan Javaherian

We extend the forward-adjoint operator framework derived in our previous study to photoacoustic tomography (PAT). In that earlier work, the acoustic forward operator included a rec…

Introduction and Numerical Validation of an Open-Source MATLAB Package for Quantitative Ultrasound Tomography via Ray-Born Inversion

Ashkan Javaherian

We present a MATLAB package for reconstructing sound-speed images from transmission ultrasound data. The package is based on two-point ray tracing and implements two complementary…

The First In Vitro and In Vivo Validation of the Hessian-Free Ray-Born Inversion for Quantitative Ultrasound Tomography

Ashkan Javaherian

This study presents the first experimental validation of a Hessian-free ray-Born inversion technique for quantitative reconstruction of sound speed from transmission ultrasound dat…

A Regularized Finite-Difference Approximation of Surface-restricted Emission and Reception Process in Acoustics with Application to Inverse Problems

Ashkan Javaherian

The acoustic wave equation governs wave propagation induced by either volumetric radiation sources, or by surface sources of monopole or dipole type. For surface sources, boundary…

Hessian-free Ray-Born Inversion for Quantitative Ultrasound Tomography of Weakly Heterogeneous Media

Ashkan Javaherian

This study presents a frequency-domain, Hessian-free ray-Born inversion method for quantitative ultrasound tomography, extending the author's previous Hessian-based approach. Both…

A continuous adjoint for photo-acoustic tomography of the brain

Ashkan Javaherian, Sean Holman

We present an optimization framework for photo-acoustic tomography of brain based on a system of coupled equations that describe the propagation of sound waves in linear isotropic…

A Multi-Grid Iterative Method for Photoacoustic Tomography

Ashkan Javaherian, Sean Holman

Inspired by the recent advances on minimizing nonsmooth or bound-constrained convex functions on models using varying degrees of fidelity, we propose a line search multigrid (MG) m…
