Produktbeschreibung

The focus of this volume is on inverse problems involving electromagnetic radiation and particle beams, with applications to X- ray tomography, nuclear medicine, near-infrared imaging, microwave imaging, electron microscopy, and radiation therapy planning. The volume is intended not only for mathematical scientists and engineers working on these and related problems, but also for non-specialists. It contains much introductory expository material, and large number of references. Many unsolved computational and mathematical problems of substantial practical importance are pointed out.
