Abstract

The limited-view issue can cause a low-quality image in photoacoustic (PA) computed tomography due to the limitation of geometric condition. The model-based method is used to resolve this problem, which contains different regularization. To adapt fast and high-quality reconstruction of limited-view PA data, in this Letter, a model-based method that combines the mathematical variational model with deep learning is proposed to speed up and regularize the unrolled procedure of reconstruction. A deep neural network is designed to adapt the step of the gradient updated term of data consistency in the gradient descent procedure, which can obtain a high-quality PA image with only a few iterations. A comparison of different model-based methods shows that our proposed scheme has superior performances (over 0.05 for SSIM) with the same iteration (three times) steps. Finally, we find that our method obtains superior results (0.94 value of SSIM for in vivo) with a high robustness and accelerated reconstruction.
