    This is a very nice article concerning PAT, written by one of the world leading experts.

    I would only add a few references to surveys on the rather intricate mathematics of PAT, as well as to articles on QPAT (quantitative PAT). In QPAT, the next step of reconstruction is addressed: when the deposited energy is reconstructed in PAT, how one can go further and reconstruct the actual optical parameters of the tissue.

    The following references can be suggested:
