Reconstruction and time reversal in thermoacoustic tomography in acoustically homogeneous and inhomogeneous media
Reconstruction and time reversal in thermoacoustic tomography in acoustically homogeneous and inhomogeneous media
The paper starts with a comparative discussion of features and limitations of the three types of recent approaches to reconstruction in thermoacoustic/photoacoustic tomography: backprojection formulae, eigenfunction expansions and time reversal. The latter method happens to be the least restrictive. It is then considered in more detail, e.g. its relation to …
