We introduce a new iterative regularization method for solving imaging problems and other inverse problems that can be written as systems of linear or non-linear equations. The proposed averaged Kaczmarz (AVEK) method can be seen as a hybrid method between the Landweber and the Kaczmarz method. We present a convergence analysis of AVEK and present numerical results for its application to photo-acoustic tomography.
