COMPARISON OF SCANNING SCHEMES FOR OPTO-ACOUSTIC DIAGNOSTICS OF TURBID MEDIA

This paper is devoted to the numerical simulation of the applicability of electronically scanning quasiresonant ultrasonic receivers, similar to those used in the ultrasonic studies, for noninvasive opto-acoustic diagnostics of turbid media under conditions of limited access of the medium surface. An advantage of such receivers is their ability to acquire a two-dimensional opto-acoustic image of the internal structure of the studied object in the case of its limited accessibility without the necessity of moving macroscopically the acoustic sensor itself.
