Thermoacoustic tomography for an integro-differential wave equation modeling attenuation
arXiv:1703.09271
Abstract
In this article we study the inverse problem of thermoacoustic tomography (TAT) on a medium with attenuation represented by a time- convolution (or memory) term, and whose consideration is motivated by the modeling of ultrasound waves in heterogeneous tissue via fractional derivatives with spatially dependent parameters. Under the assumption of being able to measure data on the whole boundary, we prove uniqueness and stability, and propose a convergent reconstruction method for a class of smooth variable sound speeds. By a suitable modification of the time reversal technique, we obtain a Neumann series reconstruction formula.
