On Mathematics of Thermoacoustic Imaging

EE/CS 3-180
Peter Kuchment (Texas A & M University)
Joint with Gaik Ambartsoumian.
In thermoacoustic tomography TAT (sometimes called TCT), one triggers
an ultrasound signal from the medium by radiating it with a short EM
pulse. Mathematically speaking, under ideal conditions, the imaging
problem boils down to inversion of a spherical Radon transform. The talk
will survey known results and open problems in this area.
