Abstract
Using spectroscopic photoacoustic imaging to quantitatively measure blood oxygenation saturation (sO2) is a difficult problem which requires prior tissue knowledge and costly computational methods. We have developed a convolutional neural network with a U-Net architecture to estimate the sO2 from spectroscopic photoacoustic data. The network was trained on Monte Carlo simulated spectroscopic PA data and predicted sO2 with only 4.49% error, an accuracy much higher than that of a linear spectral unmixing baseline. These results suggest that precise quantitative measurements of sO2 deep in tissue is attainable using machine learning approaches.
