Abstract: We describe a reconstruction method that allows direct recovery of
tissue chromophore concentrations and acoustic velocity using tomographic
multi-spectral photoacoustic measurements. The method is tested in detail using
extensive simulated data. Criteria for choosing optimum wavelength sets are
analyzed for simultaneous reconstruction of tissue functional and acoustic properties.
