Summary

• Participants: JB, BC, EG, EH, HT, KL, JM

• Status updates
  • Clash with the WP managers' meeting, to be re-timetabled.
  • Plan to combine 3 stages of processing in simulation pipeline into a single script. - HT
    • Discussion of labelling of power spectrum.
    • Observance of odd behaviour in depth plots of old datasets.
  • Picking up work regarding deep learning for photoacoustic imaging. - EG
    • Executing simulations with the aim of comparing image reconstruction between iterative and deep learning methods.
    • Promising results for deep learning and aim to move forward with more realistic data.
    • BC suggested looking at IPASC.
    • KL suggested BC make contact with WL at IC.
  • Discussion on how to spend money in case of end-of-year funding - JM
    • A single transducer demo could be a place to start.
    • KL suggested progressing with a first setup with scintillating fibre planes and ultrasonic transducer in a water phantom.
  • First iteration of the Ion Acoustic Dose Mapping section of the proposal to be drafted. - JB
• Actions
  • JM and JB to get prices for kit in case of end of year funds.
  • JB to write first draft of proposal section.
  • BC to talk with EG and WL.
