    Abstract:
    Microwave-Induced Thermo-Acoustic Tomography (MITAT) own much concerns in recent years in biomedical imaging field. High contrast and resolution compared with conventional microwave or ultrasound imaging system especially for malignant tumors are outstanding characters of it. In this paper, the induced thermo-acoustic wave propagating in a mimic biologic tissue is simulated by numeric method Pseudo-Spectrum Time Domain (PSTD). Due to the excellent performance in noise-depress and the stability for the fluctuation of the model parameters, Time Reversal Mirror (TRM) imaging technique is studied computationally for the simulative received thermo-acoustic signals. Some thermo-acoustic objects with different initial pressure distribution are designed and imaged by TRM technique to represent the complex biologic tissue case in a random media. The quality of images generated by TRM technique based on PSTD method hints the potential of the MITAT technique. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
