The study on the inverse problem of applied current thermoacoustic imaging based on generative adversarial network

Abstract Applied Current Thermoacoustic Imaging (ACTAI) is a new imaging method which combines electromagnetic excitation with ultrasound imaging, and takes ultrasonic signal as medium and biological tissue conductivity as detection target. Taking the high contrast advantage of Electrical Impedance...
