Mathematics of Photoacoustic and Thermoacoustic Tomography

Peter Kuchment, Leonid Kunyansky

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

The chapter surveys the mathematical models, problems, and algorithms of the thermoacoustic tomography (TAT) and photoacoustic tomography (PAT). TAT and PAT represent probably the most developed of the several novel “hybrid” methods of medical imaging. These new modalities combine different physical types of waves (electromagnetic and acoustic in case of TAT and PAT) in such a way that the resolution and contrast of the resulting method are much higher than those achievable using only acoustic or electromagnetic measurements.
