Microwave Induced Thermoacoustic Imaging of Osteoarthritis: A Feasibility Study

Abstract:

We present a pilot study for the first time that microwave-induced thermoacoustic tomography (TAT) has the potential to detect osteoarthritis (OA) in the finger joints in vitro. In this study, we use rabbit hind feet to imitate humans finger joints, one rabbits hind feet was examined carefully by a TAT scanner, and the two-dimensional (2D) thermoacoustic images were reconstructed by the delay-and-sum algorithm. The difference of absorption coefficient of bone and articular cartilage has been displayed clearly in the reconstruction images.
