Abstract
Magnetoacoustic tomography combines the advantages of electrical impedance tomography with sonography. It can reconstruct conductivity images of biological tissue with high spatial resolution and high contrast. In addition, magnetoacoustic tomography is a new nondestructive functional imaging technology, with which we can realize the early diagnosis of human diseases. In this paper, through theory analysis we deduced the analytical formula of acoustic pressure. Computer simulation and experimental studies on magnetoacoustic tomography with current injection (MAT-CI) were made, and a copper ring was used as the model for the simulation and experiment. Experimental setup and methods are introduced, and the acoustic signals and the image of a metal object by means of MAT-CI are presented. Results of the simulation and experiment were in a good agreement. The reconstructed image of an acoustic source can reflect the conductivity information of a sample. The conductivity distribution of a sample can be obtained by means of MAT-CI. The results provide foundations of study on a model with complex conductivity distribution and tissues for MAT-CI.
