Popis: The spatial resolution and size of the sensitivity area of tomographic systems are estimated by calculating sensitivity maps and spatial resolution maps in the image plane of complex arrays. The relation between the size of areas of high sensitivity and high spatial resolution for real-time oriented tomographic systems with confocal arrays is studied. It is shown that arrays with toroidal geometry significantly improve the diagnostic capabilities of optoacoustic and laser-ultrasound structural analysis of biological objects, rocks, and composite materials.
