A Noise Reduction Method for Photoacoustic Imaging <italic>In Vivo</italic> Based on EMD and Conditional Mutual Information by Meng Zhou, Haibo Xia, Hongtao Zhong, Jiayao Zhang, Fei Gao

“…In recent years, this research field has been greatly developed, and its application range is wide, including anatomy, functionality, and molecular imaging. However, the conversion efficiency of photoacoustic effect from light to sound is quite low, which leads to the low signal-to-noise ratio of photoacoustic signal and the poor quality of reconstructed photoacoustic image. …”
