X-ray-induced acoustic computed tomography (XACT) with an ultrasound ring-array has been developed !

February 7, 2017 by shawn xiang

This new study, lead by Dr. Shanshan Tang, developed and tested a new system that offers rapid and high resolution XACT imaging which has been accepted for publication in Applied Physics Letters. The 5 MHz ultrasound array with 128 transducers and multi-channel parallel data receiver provides full tomographic imaging capability at speed up to 25 fps and 138μm resolutions. The system and methodology provided in this letter has potential for dynamic imaging of physiological activity, and for noninvasive clinical diagnosis. We hope the system configuration described in this letter will promote the XACT technique towards future clinical practice.
