Abstract
Results from the application of a novel nonlinear hybrid reconstruction algorithm within a Digital Image Elasto-Tomography (DIET) system are presented. A hybrid reconstruction algorithm was optimized to solve for the elasticity distribution of two heterogeneous silicone phantoms using a shape-based parameterization. The hybrid algorithm achieved comparable performance to Combinatorial Optimization methods with significantly less computational expense. The specificity of three-parameter reconstruction was confirmed by successful reconstruction of a homogeneous silicone phantom, indicating the potential suitability of the DIET system for application to inclusion imaging in elastography.
