Abstract
The inverse sonification problem is investigated in this article in order to detect hardly capturing details in a medical image. The direct problem consists in converting the image data into sound signals by a transformation which involves three steps - data, acoustics parameters and sound representations. The inverse problem is reversing back the sound signals into image data. By using the known sonification operator, the inverse approach does not bring any gain in the sonified medical imaging. The replication of the image already known does not help the diagnosis and surgical operation. In order to bring gains in the medical imaging, a new sonification operator is advanced in this paper, by using the Burgers equation of sound propagation. The sonified medical imaging is useful in interpreting the medical imaging that, however powerful they may be, are never good enough to aid tumour surgery. The inverse approach is exercised on several medical images used to surgical operations.
Highlights
A significant effort has been devoted in recent years to improve the quality of medical images used to surgery[1]
The inverse problem of sonification, that is, the reversal of sound samples in new images is less studied so far, to the best of our knowledge. This is due to the fact that the known sonification operator does not bring any improvement of the medical image, because the theory behind it is the linear theory of sound motion
This article introduces a new sonification operator based on the nonlinear Burgers theory of the sound motion
Summary
A significant effort has been devoted in recent years to improve the quality of medical images used to surgery[1]. The inverse problem of sonification, that is, the reversal of sound samples in new images is less studied so far, to the best of our knowledge. This is due to the fact that the known sonification operator does not bring any improvement of the medical image, because the theory behind it is the linear theory of sound motion. The new operator has proved its ability to solve the inverse problem of sonification and to obtain essential gains in improving the medical image.
