Self-supervised light fluence correction network for photoacoustic tomography based on diffusion equation.
Article in Photoacoustics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Deep learning (DL) shows promise in estimating the absorption coefficient distribution of biological tissue in quantitative photoacoustic tomography (QPAT) imaging, but its application is limited by a lack of ground truth for supervised network training. To address this issue, we propose a DL-based light fluence correction method that only uses the original PAT images for network training. Our self-supervised QPAT network model, which we termed SQPA-Net, introduces light fluence estimation based on diffusion equation to the loss function, and thus guides the model to learn an implicit representation of photoacoustic light transport within tissue. Simulation and small animal imaging experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our method. Compared to current DL-based methods and traditional iterative correction method, the proposed SQPA-Net achieves better light fluence correction results and significantly reduces the processing time.
