The goal of \emph{photoacoustic tomography} (PAT) is to estimate an \emph{initial pressure function} $\varphi$ from pressure data measured at a boundary surrounding the object of interest. This paper is concerned with a time reversal method…
Practical applications of thermoacoustic tomography require numerical inversion of the spherical mean Radon transform with the centers of integration spheres occupying an open surface. Solution of this problem is needed (both in 2-D and…
Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) is a rapidly emerging bioimaging modality that seeks to reconstruct an estimate of the absorbed optical energy density within an object. Conventional PACT image reconstruction methods assume a…
Photoacoustic image reconstruction often assumes that the restriction of the acoustic pressure on the detection surface is given. However, commonly used detectors often have a certain directivity and frequency dependence, in which case the…
This paper provides a mathematical analysis of ultrafast ultrasound imaging. This newly emerging modality for biomedical imaging uses plane waves instead of focused waves in order to achieve very high frame rates. We derive the point spread…
Multispectral photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is an imaging modality that utilizes the photoacoustic effect to achieve non-invasive and high-contrast imaging of internal tissues. However, the hardware cost and computational demand of a…
In photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) the accurate estimation of the initial pressure (IP) distribution generally requires knowledge of the object's heterogeneous speed-of-sound (SOS) distribution. Although hybrid imagers that combine…
The severity of atrial fibrillation (AF) can be assessed from intra-operative epicardial measurements (high-resolution electrograms), using metrics such as conduction block (CB) and continuous conduction delay and block (cCDCB). These…
We investigate the problem of recovering the initial displacement f for a solution u of a linear, isotropic, non-homogeneous elastic wave equation, given measurements of u on [0,T] x \partial \Omega, where \Omega\subset\R^3 is some bounded…
Photoacoustic imaging develops very fast in recent years due to its superior performance in many preclinical and clinical applications. However, it is still in a developing stage, and a lot of experiments have to be performed in a…
To obtain the initial pressure from the collected data on a planar sensor arrangement in Photoacoustic tomography, there exists an exact analytic frequency domain reconstruction formula. An efficient realization of this formula needs to…
Photoacoustic imaging is an emerging imaging modality that is based upon the photoacoustic effect. In photoacoustic tomography (PAT), the induced acoustic pressure waves are measured by an array of detectors and used to reconstruct an image…
Beamforming is an essential step in the ultrasound image formation pipeline and has recently attracted growing interest. An important goal of beamforming is to increase the image spatial resolution, or in other words to narrow down the…
When a laser-cooled atomic sample is optically excited, the envelope of coherent forward scattering can often be decomposed into a few complex Gaussian profiles. The convenience of Gaussian propagation helps addressing key challenges in…
Singular spectrum analysis is developed as a nonparametric spectral decomposition of a time series. It can be easily extended to the decomposition of multidimensional lattice-like data through the filtering interpretation. In this…
We consider an inverse problem of recovering a parameter appearing in all levels in a second-order hyperbolic equation from a single boundary measurement. The model is motivated from applications in photoacoustic tomography when one seeks…
In this paper we consider the mathematical model of thermo- and photo-acoustic tomography for the recovery of the initial condition of a wave field from knowledge of its boundary values. Unlike the free-space setting, we consider the wave…
In photoacoustic tomography, one is interested to recover the initial pressure distribution inside a tissue from the corresponding measurements of the induced acoustic wave on the boundary of a region enclosing the tissue. In the limited…
In medical SPECT imaging, we seek to simultaneously obtain the internal radioactive sources and the attenuation map using not only ballistic measurements but also first order scattering measurements. The problem is modeled using the…
Nonlinear ultrasound imaging leverages harmonic wave generation to enhance contrast and spatial resolution beyond the capabilities of conventional linear techniques. This behavior is commonly modeled by the Westervelt equation, which…
