摘要
Ultrasound tomography is an emerging imaging modality that uses the transmission of ultrasound through tissue to reconstruct images of its mechanical properties. Initially, ray-based methods were used to reconstruct these images, but their inability to account for diffraction often resulted in poor resolution. Waveform inversion overcame this limitation, providing high-resolution images of the tissue. Most clinical implementations, often directed at breast cancer imaging, currently rely on a frequency-domain waveform inversion to reduce computation time. For ring arrays, ray tomography was long considered a necessary step prior to waveform inversion in order to avoid cycle skipping. However, in this paper, we demonstrate that frequency-domain waveform inversion can reliably reconstruct high-resolution images of sound speed and attenuation without relying on ray tomography to provide an initial model. We provide a detailed description of our frequency-domain waveform inversion algorithm with open-source code and data that we make publicly available.
