Thermoacoustic Tomography with Variable Sound Speed Plamen Stefanov and Gunther Uhlmann
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the mathematical model of thermoacoustic tomography in media with a variable speed for a fixed time interval, greater than the diameter of the domain. In case of measurements on the whole boundary, we give an explicit solution in terms of a Neumann series expansion. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for uniqueness and stability when the measurements are taken on a part of the boundary.

An Efficient Neumann Series-Based Algorithm for Thermoacoustic and Photoacoustic Tomography with Variable Sound Speed
We present an efficient algorithm for reconstructing an unknown source in Thermoacoustic and Photoacoustic Tomography based on the recent advances in understanding the theoretical nature of the problem. We work with variable sound speeds that might be also discontinuous across some surface. The latter problem arises in brain imaging. The algorithmic development is based on an explicit formula i...
متن کاملThermoacoustic Tomography with Variable Sound Speed
We study the mathematical model of thermoacoustic tomography in media with a variable speed for a fixed time interval Œ0;T so that all signals issued from the domain leave it after time T . In case of measurements on the whole boundary, we give an explicit solution in terms of a Neumann series expansion. We give almost necessary and sufficient conditions for uniqueness and stability when the ...
متن کاملMultiwave methods via ultrasound
We survey recent results by the authors on multiwave methods where the high-resolution method is ultrasound. We consider the inverse problem of determining a source inside a medium from ultrasound measurements made on the boundary of the medium. Some multiwave medical imaging methods where this is considered are photoacoustic tomography, thermoacoustic tomography, ultrasound modulated tomograph...
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 کاملAn Inverse Source Problem in Optical Molecular Imaging Plamen Stefanov and Gunther Uhlmann
We study the direct and an inverse source problem for the radiative transfer equation arising in optical molecular imaging. We show that for generic absorption and scattering coefficients, the direct problem is well-posed and the inverse one is uniquely solvable, with a stability estimate.
