Abstract
This work introduces a method of one-dimensional deconvolution with Tikhonov regularization for enhancing three-dimensional optoacoustic images in vivo. The method employs adaptive self-calibration to eliminate frequency-dependent distortions associated with ultrasound propagation and detection. By adapting to the inhomogeneous frequency characteristics of the examined medium, the method eliminates the need for additional calibration experiments. The processing time for three-dimensional optoacoustic data of size 200 × 200 × 100 voxels is less than 5 ms, facilitating the real-time enhancement of angiographic images and improving the effective spatial resolution by more than 50%.
