Abstract

In this work, we present the open source “Simulation and Image Processing for Photoacoustic Imaging (SIMPA)” toolkit that facilitates simulation of multispectral photoacoustic images by streamlining the use of state-of-the-art frameworks that numerically approximate the respective forward models. SIMPA provides modules for all the relevant steps for photoacoustic forward simulation: tissue modelling, optical forward modelling, acoustic modelling, noise modelling, as well as image reconstruction. We demonstrate the capabilities of SIMPA by performing image simulation using MCX and k-Wave for the optical and acoustic forward modelling, as well as an experimentally determined noise model and a custom tissue model.
