Sampling in Thermoacoustic Tomography
We explore the effect of sampling rates when measuring data given by Mf for special operators M arising in Thermoacoustic Tomography. We start with sampling requirements on Mf given f satisfying certain conditions. After this we discuss the resolution limit on f posed by the sampling rate of Mf without assuming any conditions on these sampling rates. Next we discuss aliasing artifacts when Mf is known to be under sampled in one or more of its variables. Finally, we discuss averaging of measurement data and resulting aliasing and artifacts, along with a scheme for anti-aliasing.
