The microwave thermoacoustic imaging technology has the advantages of high resolution of ultrasonic imaging and high contrast of microwave imaging, the technology performs high resolution and high contrast imaging on dielectric property distribution of biological tissues, the microwave thermoacoustic imaging technology radiates non-ionizing radiation pulse microwaves onto the biological tissues, the biological tissues can absorb the microwave energy and convert the microwave energy into internal energy, the tissue instantaneous temperature rise causes thermal expansion on the body, pressure waves, namely the ultrasonic waves, are generated in the thermal expansion process and spread to the periphery of the tissues, the generated ultrasonic waves can be detected and intercepted by a tissue ultrasonic transducer, and the ultrasonic signal acquisition is used for inverting the microwave absorption difference images in the tissues. Unpolarized pulsed microwaves are commonly used as excitation source, assuming the target is dielectric isotropy. However, it has been reported that some biological tissues exhibit a significant dielectric anisotropy in the long axis. Conventional thermo-acoustic imaging is not sufficient to exhibit the anisotropic nature of such tissue, which limits its application in biological and materials fields. In this work, we propose a polarized microwave thermoacoustic imaging system (PMTA) that can quantify the microscopic degree of anisotropy of a target based on its microwave absorption properties using newly proposed parameter values of 0 to 1. Using acoustic waves that absorb polarized microwaves can provide a straightforward strategy for tissue polarization measurements.

In summary, we propose a polarized microwave thermoacoustic imaging (PMTA) to quantitatively detect the microscopic anisotropy of a target by applying four linearly polarized microwaves as excitation sources. Compared to conventional microwave thermoacoustic imaging devices, which treat the target as an isotropic absorber, PMTA allows us to quantitatively detect the anisotropic characteristics of the target, with newly proposed parameter values between 0 and 1 above the microwave absorption, which enables quantification of the microscopic degree of anisotropy of the target with newly proposed parameter values of 0 to 1.
