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.read more

On the determination of a function from cylindrical Radon transforms
TL;DR: In this article, a Radon-type transform arising in photoacoustic tomography that uses integrating line detectors is considered. But the Radon transform is not considered when the line detectors are tangent to the boundary of a cylindrical domain and when the detectors are located on a plane.
Dimensional Analysis and Variational Formulation of Diffuse Optical Tomography (DOT) Model
TL;DR: In this paper, a dimensionless form of the ODE was obtained for the 1-d DOT model and the PDE for the 2-D DOT model, and the inverse problem using the dimensionless scaled forward DOT model was investigated.

Confidence estimation for quantitative photoacoustic imaging
TL;DR: A novel approach to the local estimation of confidence in quantitative reconstructions of PA images that makes use of conditional probability densities to estimate confidence intervals alongside the actual quantification.
