Provides a general reconstruction framework and uniqueness result for thermoacoustic/photoacoustic tomography, addressing a fundamental problem in medical imaging.
The paper presents a reconstruction method for thermoacoustic and photoacoustic tomography that works for any detector geometry and variable sound speed under a non-trapping condition, and proves uniqueness of reconstruction.
The paper contains a simple approach to reconstruction in Thermoacoustic and Photoacoustic Tomography. The technique works for any geometry of point detectors placement and for variable sound speed satisfying a non-trapping condition. A uniqueness of reconstruction result is also obtained.
