Within the next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD (pQCD) parton model, suppression of away-side hadron spectra associated with a high $p_{T}$ photon due to parton energy loss is shown to provide a complete tomographic picture of the dense matter formed in high-energy heavy-ion collisions at RHIC. Dictated by the shape of the $\gamma$-triggered jet spectrum in NLO pQCD, hadron spectra at large $z_T=p_T^{h}/p_T^{\gamma} \stackrel{>}{\sim} 1$ are more susceptible to parton energy loss and therefore are dominated by surface emission of $\gamma$-triggered jets, whereas small $z_{T}$ hadrons mainly come from fragmentation of jets with reduced energy from volume emission. These lead to different centrality dependence of the hadron suppression in different regions of $z_{T}$.
