Paper Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging with line detectors that are longer than the maximum size of an object is able to reveal the three-dimensional
(3D) structure of the thermoelastic pressure distribution within the object. The image acquisition and
reconstruction is a two step process. In the first step acoustic signals that are measured while the line detector is
translated around the object are used to reconstruct a projection of the initial pressure in direction of the line. This is a
two-dimensional (2D) image reconstruction problem. In the second step projections taken at multiple line orientations
are used to reconstruct the 3D image by inversion of the Radon transform. In this study methods for solving the 2D
reconstruction problem are presented. In an experiment using an optical interferometer as acoustic line detector the
complete 3D imaging procedure is demonstrated on a phantom.
