Abstract
Ultrasound switchable fluorescence (USF) imaging, a hybrid imaging technology that combines the advantages of both fluorescence sensitivity and acoustic resolution in centimeter-deep tissue, has great potential for biomedical different applications. A camera-based USF imaging system reveals its capability of capturing both spatial and temporal dynamics of the USF signal in tissue. In this study, various algorithms were explored to enhance the spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of USF images, utilizing temporal and spatial information from a camera-based time-domain USF imaging system. The correlation method proved effective in boosting SNR, while the ascending-slope-weighted method enhanced spatial resolution. Additionally, the spatially back-projection method significantly improved spatial resolution in silicone phantoms. The results underscore the advantages of incorporating temporal and spatial information from USF signals.
