1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

significanceAs linear array transducers are widely used in clinical ultrasound imaging, photoacoustic tomography (PAT) with linear arrays is similarly suitable for clinical applications. However, due to the limited-view problem, a linear array has limited performance and leads to artifacts and blurring, which has hindered its broader application. There is a need to address the limited-view problem in PAT imaging with linear arrays.

aimWe investigate potential approaches for improving PAT reconstruction from linear array, by optimizing the detection geometry and implementing iterative reconstruction. APPROACH: PAT imaging with a single-array, dual-probe configurations in parallel-shape and L-shape, and square-shape configuration are compared in simulations and phantom experiments. An iterative model-based algorithm based on the variance-reduced stochastic gradient descent (VR-SGD) method is implemented. The optimum configuration found in simulation is validated on phantom experiments.

resultsPAT imaging with dual-probe detection and VR-SGD algorithm is found to improve the limited-view problem compared to a single probe and provide comparable performance as full-view geometry in simulation. This configuration is validated in experiments where more complete structure is obtained with reduced artifacts compared with a single array.

conclusionsPAT with dual-probe detection and iterative reconstruction is a promising solution to the limited-view problem of linear arrays.
