Simultaneous reconstruction of acoustic and optical properties of heterogeneous tissues by quantitative photoacoustic tomography

The optical and acoustic properties of heterogeneous media are recovered simultaneously using finite element-based reconstruction algorithm coupled with a scanning photoacoustic imaging system. The results show that the images obtained are quantitative in terms of the shape, size, location and optical and acoustic properties of the heterogeneities examined.
