<p><strong>Photoacoustic tomography is a promising technique for noninvasive medical imaging of biological tissues. In a recent review, researchers focus on the optical component of quantitative photoacoustic tomography, where the distributions of the optical parameters are estimated from the initial pressure. The review discusses how light propagation in a tissue is modelled, the numerical solution methodologies of the image reconstruction, and the challenges that must be addressed for real-world applications. </strong></p>

University of Eastern Finland associate professor secures ERC Consolidator Grant
Associate Professor Tanja Tarvainen from the Department of Applied Physics at the University of Eastern Finland has been granted the European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant for five years, with the funding amounting to 2 million euros. This is the first ERC Consolidator Grant awarded to a University of Eastern Finland researcher. The ERC grants are among the most esteemed European grants, making them highly competitive. This year, the funding awarded as ERC Consolidator Grants amounted to 655 million euros. In Finland, the ERC Consolidator Grant was awarded to a total of six researchers.
