Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging is a promising method for visualizing biological tissues with optical absorbers. This article provides an overview of the rapidly developing field of photoacoustic imaging. Photoacoustics, the physical basis of photoacoustic imaging, is analyzed briefly. The merits of photoacoustic technology, compared with optical imaging and ultrasonic imaging, are described. Various imaging techniques are also discussed, including scanning tomography, computed tomography and original detection of photoacoustic imaging. Finally, some biomedical applications of photoacoustic imaging are summarized.

System Optimization and Iterative Image Reconstruction in Photoacoustic Computed Tomography for Breast Imaging

Yang Lou
TL;DR: A method that generates anatomically realistic numerical breast phantoms is first proposed to facilitate computer simulation studies in PACT and an acceleration method that employs an approximated but much faster adjoint operator during iterations, which can redute the computation time by a factor of six without significantly compromising image quality.
