Abstract
As a promising noninvasive medical imaging technique, bioluminescence tomography (BLT) dynamically offers three-dimensional visualization of tumor distribution in living animals. However, due to the high ill-posedness caused by the strong scattering property of biological tissues and the limited boundary measurements with noise, BLT reconstruction still cannot meet actual preliminary clinical application requirements. In our research, to recover 3D tumor distribution quickly and precisely, an adaptive Newton hard thresholding pursuit (ANHTP) algorithm is proposed to improve the performance of BLT. The ANHTP algorithm fully combines the advantages of sparsity constrained optimization and convex optimization to guarantee global convergence. More precisely, an adaptive sparsity adjustment strategy was developed to obtain the support set of the inverse system matrix. Based on the strong Wolfe line search criterion, a modified damped Newton algorithm was constructed to obtain optimal source distribution information. A series of numerical simulations and phantom and in vivo experiments show that ANHTP has high reconstruction accuracy, fast reconstruction speed, and good robustness. Our proposed algorithm can further increase the practicality of BLT in biomedical applications.
