We use the Landweber method for numerical simulations for the multiwave tomography problem with a reflecting boundary and compare it with the averaged time reversal method. We also analyze the rate of convergence and the dependence on the step size for the Landweber iterations on a Hilbert space.

Keywords: Thermoacoustic tomography, microlocal analysis, Landweber iterations, medical imaging.

Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 35R25.

The smooth increasing curve represents the eigenvalues of $\mathcal{L}^*\mathcal{L}$ in the discrete realization on an $101\!\times\!101$ grid restricted to a $94\!\times\!94$ grid. There are small imaginary parts along the horizontal line in the middle. $\mathcal{L}^*$ is computed as the adjoint to the matrix representation of $\mathcal{L}$.

The smooth increasing curve represents the eigenvalues of $\mathcal{L}^*\mathcal{L}$ in the discrete realization on an $101\!\times\!101$ grid restricted to a $94\!\times\!94$ grid. $\mathcal{L}^*$ is computed as the adjoint matrix rather than with the wave equation solver. The rough curve represents the squares of the Fourier coefficients of the SL phantom.

Figure 14. Left: the original SL phantom. Right: The reconstructed SL phantom with $c=1$ and $T=2$. The phantom was originally on a $201\times 201$ grid with $\Delta t=\Delta x /\sqrt{2}$. The data was computed on a grid rescaled by a factor of $5.7$ in the spatial variables and $7.41$ times in the time variable; and then rescaled to the the original one on the boundary before inversion. The ripple artifacts are due to high frequency waves in the time reversal moving slower than the speed $c=1$.

Figure 15. Same situation as in Figure 14 but the phantom contains Gaussians with predominately low frequency content. Left: original. Right: reconstruction with 50 iterations. The relative $L^2$ error is $1.8\%$, the $L^\infty$ error is $3.5\%$.
