This thesis investigates reconstruction techniques for optoacoustic (oa) imaging, implemented both in pulsed and continuous wave (cw) mode. Two approaches to incorporate the transducer geometry into model-based reconstruction are implemented and its benefits showcased in simulations and experiments. The size of the imaging model could be reduced using wavelet packets, thus enabling complex inversion algorithms. Finally, a tomographic oa system applying a cw light source was implemented, including a dedicated reconstruction algorithm providing cross-sectional images.
