Inverse solution of thermoacoustic wave equation for multi-layer planar medium

25th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU) -- MAY 15-18, 2017 -- Antalya, TURKEY WOS: 000413813100593 In this study, we derive analytical forward and inverse solution of thermoacoustic wave equation for inhomogeneous multi-layer planar medium, where the source distribution can exist in all layers with different acoustic parameters. Our solutions are based on methods of the Greens functions for layered planar media. This model is applicable for imaging of tissue structures such as skin, breast and abdominal imaging. We have tested and compared our layered solution and conventional solution for point sources located in a two-layer by using numerical simulations.
