Abstract: The work is inspired by thermo-and photoacoustic imaging, where recent efforts are devoted to take into account attenuation and varying wave speed parameters. In this paper we derive and analyze causal equations describing propagation of attenuated pressure waves. We also review standard models, like frequency power laws, and the thermo-viscous equation and show that they lack causality in the parameter range relevant for biological photoacoustic imaging. To discuss causality in mathematical rigor we use the results and concepts of linear system theory. We present some numerical experiments, which show the physically unmeaningful behavior of standard attenuation models, and the realistic behavior of the novel models.
