| Abstract: |
| Photoacoustic Tomography (PAT) is a hybrid medical imaging modality that is able to generate high-resolution and high-contrast images by exploiting the coupling of electromagnetic pulses (in the visible region) and ultrasound waves via de photoacoustic effect. From its mathematical formulation, one obtains the inverse problem that consists of determining the initial source of acoustic waves from boundary data, however, in practice other coefficients such as the speed of sound and attenuation are unknown and of interest as well. In this talk, I will discuss current research on some of the inverse problems related to the imaging modality of PAT. |
