Sampling in Thermoacoustic Tomography

We explore the effect of sampling rates when measuring data given by $Mf$ for special operators $M$ arising in Thermoacoustic Tomography. We start with sampling requirements on $Mf$ given $f$ satisfying certain conditions. After this we discuss the resolution limit on $f$ posed by the sampling rate of $Mf$ without assuming any conditions on these sampling rates. Next we discuss aliasing artifacts when $Mf$ is known to be under sampled in one or more of its variables. Finally, we discuss averaging of measurement data and resulting aliasing and artifacts, along with a scheme for anti-aliasing.

Thermoacoustic Tomography with Circular Integrating Detectors and Variable Wave Speed

We explore Thermoacoustic Tomography with circular integrating detectors assuming variable, smooth wave speed. We show that the measurement operator in this case is a Fourier Integral Operator and examine how the singularities in initial data and measured data are related through the canonical relation of this operator. We prove which of those singularities in the initial data are visible from a fixed open subset of the set on which measurements are taken. In addition, numerical results are shown for both full and partial data.
