Abstract: In acousto-electric tomography the goal is to reconstruct the electric conductivity in a domain from electrostatic boundary measurements of corresponding currents and voltages, while the domain is penetrated by a time-dependent acoustic wave. We explicitly model the phenomena, and we propose a complete inversion framework for acousto-electric tomography in two steps: First the interior power density is obtained from boundary measurements by solving a linear, ill-posed problem; second the interior conductivity is reconstructed from the power density by solving a non-linear, fairly well-posed problem. We perform numerical experiments on synthetic data with realistically chosen parameters. We investigate how feasibility of reconstructing the electrical conductivity from boundary measurements depends on the acousto-electric coupling constant and measurement noise. Our findings are positive, and indicate that AET is indeed feasible for interesting applications in for example medical imaging. Finally, we consider a limited angle setup and show that the conductivity is well reconstructed near the measurement boundary.
