Unveiling precision: a Data-Driven Approach to enhance Photoacoustic Imaging with Sparse Data

This study presents the Fourier Decay Perception Generative Adversarial Network (FDP-GAN), an innovative approach dedicated to alleviating limitations in photoacoustic imaging stemming from restricted sensor availability and biological tissue heterogeneity. By integrating diverse photoacoustic data, FDP-GAN notably enhances image fidelity and reduces artifacts, particularly in scenarios of low sampling. Its demonstrated effectiveness highlights its potential for substantial contributions to clinical applications, marking a significant stride in addressing pertinent challenges within the realm of photoacoustic acquisition techniques.
