摘要
present disclosure provides systems and methods for combining photoacoustic/thermoacoustic imaging with power Doppler signal processing. More particularly, the disclosed systems and methods involve use of encoded Doppler signals in order to detect and image in vivo blood flow. The disclosed flow detection systems and methods may be used in photoacoustic imaging using PD to achieve, inter alia, enhanced signal-to-noise (SNR) and sensitivity performances. A method for detecting flow in a target region may involve (i) obtaining a encoded signal containing photoacoustic imaging data for the target region using a photoacoustic imaging system, (ii) decoding the encoded signal, (iii) passing the decoded signal through a demodulator and a low-pass filter, resulting in a base-band signal, (iv) passing the base-band signal through a wall filter, resulting in an uncluttered signal; and (iv) estimating the R0 value by integrating the power spectrum of the uncluttered signal.
