Abstract
Optoacoustic tomography based on insufficient spatial sampling of ultrasound waves leads to loss of contrast and artifacts on the reconstructed images. Compared to reconstructions based on L2-norm regularization, sparsity-based reconstructions may improve contrast and reduce image artifacts but at a high computational cost, which has so far limited their use to 2D optoacoustic tomography. Here we propose a fast, sparsity-based reconstruction algorithm for 3D optoacoustic tomography, based on gradient descent with Barzilai–Borwein line search (L1-GDBB). Using simulations and experiments, we show that the L1-GDBB offers fourfold faster reconstruction than the previously reported L1-norm regularized reconstruction based on gradient descent with backtracking line search. Moreover, the new algorithm provides higher-quality images with fewer artifacts than the L2-norm regularized reconstruction and the back-projection reconstruction.
