    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Imaging
    • Medical Physics
    • Image Reconstruction

    Background:

    • Thermoacoustic tomography (TAT) is an emerging imaging modality with significant potential in biomedical applications.
    • Image reconstruction in TAT can be challenged by incomplete or truncated measurement data.
    • Temporal truncation of TAT data can lead to artifacts in reconstructed images.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce an infinite family of weighted expectation maximization (EM) algorithms for TAT image reconstruction.
    • To address image artifacts caused by temporally truncated TAT measurement data.
    • To demonstrate the effectiveness of these novel algorithms in mitigating such artifacts.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a mathematical framework for weighted expectation maximization (EM) algorithms.
