Physics-Aware Neural Operators for Direct Inversion in 3D Photoacoustic Tomography

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2509.09894v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Learning physics-constrained inverse operators-rather than post-processing physics-based reconstructions-is a broadly applicable strategy for problems with expensive forward models. We nstrate this principle in three-dimensional photoacoustic computed tomography (3D PACT), where current systems demand dense transducer arrays and prolonged scans, restricting clinical translation. We
