I'm not sure I quite follow your question, but keep in mind that if you only run the forward problem, the generated <code>sensor_data</code> will not resemble the photoacoustic source. The <code>sensor_data</code> contains the time varying boundary measurements that can then later be used to reconstruct a photoacoustic image.</p> <p>If you're interested in creating a photoacoustic breast phantom, <a href="http://proceedings.spiedigitallibrary.org/proceeding.aspx?articleid=2504774">this paper</a> may also be of interest.</p> <p>Brad. </p> http://www.k-wave.org/forum/topic/generating-breast-model#post-5434 Sat, 19 Mar 2016 16:58:15 +0000 Leyla 5434@http://www.k-wave.org/forum/ <p>Hi Ben,</p> <p>I want to generate photoacoustic breast model with using k-wave toolbox. I have an idea but I am not sure that it is appropriate or not. An external image can be added to yield sensor data, so If I add breast image as initial source that is taken from different image modality such as MRI or CT and than I define medium properties, sensor mask and finally I generate sensor data, Can I say that it is photoacoustic breast data? Maybe it is an odd question but when I examine breast model data, I think those are not resemble breast. </p> <p>Could you give me some advice how to generate appropriate breast data?</p> <p>Best,Leyla </p>
