A Family of Inversion Formulas in Thermoacoustic Tomography
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a family of closed form inversion formulas in thermoacoustic tomography in the case of a constant sound speed. The formulas are presented in both time-domain and frequency-domain versions. As special cases, they imply most of the previously known filtered backprojection type formulas.

Thermoacoustic Tomography - Implementation of Exact Backprojection Formulas
The problem of image reconstruction in thermoacoustic tomography requires inversion of a generalized Radon transform, which integrates the unknown function over circles in 2D or spheres in 3D. The paper investigates implementation of the recently discovered backprojection type inversion formulas for the case of spherical acquisition in 3D. A numerical simulation of the data acquisition with sub...
متن کاملFrequency Domain Reconstruction in Photo- and Thermoacoustic Tomography with Line Detectors
This article is concerned with a version of photoacoustic computed tomography, that uses line detectors (instead of point-like ones) for the recording of induced acoustical data. The three dimensional imaging problem, consisting in reconstructing the unknown density function from recorded data, is reduced to a series of two dimensional problems: First, the initial data of the two dimensional wa...
متن کاملThermoacoustic Tomography Arising in Brain Imaging
We study the mathematical model of thermoacoustic and photoacoustic tomography when the sound speed has a jump across a smooth surface. This models the change of the sound speed in the skull when trying to image the human brain. We derive an explicit inversion formula in the form of a convergent Neumann series under the assumptions that all singularities from the support of the source reach the...
متن کاملVelocity Inversion with an Iterative Normal Incidence Point (NIP) Wave Tomography with Model-Based Common Diffraction Surface (CDS) Stack
Normal Incidence Point (NIP) wave tomography inversion has been recently developed to generate a velocity model using Common Reflection Surface (CRS) attributes, which is called the kinematic wavefield attribute. In this paper, we propose to use the model based Common Diffraction Surface (CDS) stack method attributes instead of data driven Common Reflection Surface attributes as an input data p...
متن کاملOn the injectivity of the circular Radon transform arising in thermoacoustic tomography
The circular Radon transform integrates a function over the set of all spheres with a given set of centers. The problem of injectivity of this transform (as well as inversion formulas, range descriptions, etc.) arises in many fields from approximation theory to integral geometry, to inverse problems for PDEs, and recently to newly developing types of tomography. A major breakthrough in the 2D c...
