The feasibility of electroacoustic tomography (EAT) was investigated for in situ monitoring the electric field distribution in soft tissue. EAT exploits the phenomenon that the amplitude of acoustic emission generated by an electric field is proportional to the electrical energy deposition in tissue. After detecting these acoustic waves with ultrasound transducers, an image of the electric field distribution can be reconstructed in real-time. In our computer simulations, the electric field distribution in soft tissue was generated by solving general partial differential equations (PDEs) using finite element analysis (FEA). The electric field distributions were converted into initial pressure distributions, and the propagation of the induced acoustic waves was simulated using K-Wave simulation. A circular array of 128 ultrasound transducers was placed around the target to detect the acoustic waves, and a time reversal reconstruction algorithm was used to reconstruct the EAT image. A different number of electrodes set at different distances with different voltage inputs on the electrodes were performed to simulate different electric field distributions during electroporation. It was found that the electrical energy deposition in reconstructed EAT imaging is decreased as the distance of the electrodes increases. We also have investigated the sensitivity of the EAT imaging with different voltage inputs. The minimal voltage we can detect with EAT is 970 V at the pulsewidth of 180 ns. The results of this study demonstrated that EAT is a feasible technique for monitoring the electric field distribution and guiding the electrotherapy in future clinical practice.
