Abstract:Objective: Thermoacoustic tomography (TAT) is a promising imaging technique used for early cancer diagnosis, tumor therapy, animal study and brain imaging. Although it's widely known that the TAT frequency response depends on the pulse width of the source and the size of the object, a thorough comprehension of the quantitative frequency modulation in TAT and the mechanism governing the shift in the thermoacoustic pressure spectrum towards lower frequencies with respect to the excitation source is still lacking… Show more
