The exact reconstruction algorithms for photoacoustic imaging are either slow or assume a continuous sensor with infinite bandwidth. We propose a novel reconstruction method which expands the source distribution function in the Fourier-Bessel domain. The source distribution can be reconstructed from frequency samples corresponding to the Bessel zeros. Sparsity of the source distribution in the Fourier-Bessel domain makes reconstruction faster. Further, this method was extended to the discrete aperture and a condition was derived to avoid spatial aliasing. The proposed method was verified using numerical simulations.5en201084863799138
