被动声学成像(PAM)是超声治疗中监测声致空化活动的有力工具。数据自适应波束成形器相比时间曝光声学(TEA)算法能提供更高质量的图像,但计算成本较高。本文提出一种基于生成对抗网络的深度波束成形器,可适配不同阵列(线性与相控阵),直接从射频超声信号重建高质量PAM图像,且计算开销极低。模型在覆盖1-15 MHz的单个和多个微泡云模拟与实验数据集上训练,涵盖多种阵列配置。与TEA及三种数据自适应波束成形器对比,该方法在不同阵列下使能量扩散面积减少18.9%-65.0%,平均信噪比提升9.3-22.9 dB;同时计算成本降低三个数量级,图像重建速度达10.5毫秒,图像质量与数据自适应方法相当。结果表明,该深度波束成形器具备高分辨率实时监测微泡空化活动的潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Passive acoustic mapping (PAM) is a promising tool for monitoring acoustic cavitation activities in the applications of ultrasound therapy. Data-adaptive beamformers for PAM have better image quality compared to the time exposure acoustics (TEA) algorithms. However, the computational cost of data-adaptive beamformers is considerably expensive. In this work, we develop a deep beamformer based on a generative adversarial network, which can switch between different transducer arrays and reconstruct high-quality PAM images directly from radio frequency ultrasound signals with low computational cost. The deep beamformer was trained on the dataset consisting of simulated and experimental cavitation signals of single and multiple microbubble clouds measured by different (linear and phased) arrays covering 1-15 MHz. We compared the performance of the deep beamformer to TEA and three different data-adaptive beamformers using the simulated and experimental test dataset. Compared with TEA, the deep beamformer reduced the energy spread area by 18.9%-65.0% and improved the image signal-to-noise ratio by 9.3-22.9 dB in average for the different arrays in our data. Compared to the data-adaptive beamformers, the deep beamformer reduced the computational cost by three orders of magnitude achieving 10.5 ms image reconstruction speed in our data, while the image quality was as good as that of the data-adaptive beamformers. These results demonstrated the potential of the deep beamformer for high-resolution monitoring of microbubble cavitation activities for ultrasound therapy.
