Photoacoustic tomographic (PAT) image reconstruction with apodized sensors is discussed. A Gaussian function was used to model axisymmetric apodization of sensors and its full width at half maximum (FWHM) was varied to investigate the role of apodization on the PAT image reconstruction. The well kno...
