Transcranial ultrasound tomography for brain imaging: Ex vivo results and potential for stroke imaging
This work shows that UST imaging of the brain is feasible through a skull-mimicking phantom for a variety of targets. In silico, in vitro and ex vivo targets could all be visualized in sound speed images with a skull phantom present despite the presence of cycle skipping artifacts. Additionally, an intact human brain sample was imaged to demonstrate our current ability to visualize anatomical features, and therefore guide future development of this work.
