Nowadays we are facing numerous and important imaging problems:
nondestructive testing of materials, monitoring of industrial processes,
enhancement of oil production by efficient reservoir characterization,
emerging developments in noninvasive imaging techniques for medical
purposes - computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), X-ray and ultrasound
tomography, etc. In the CIME Summer School on Imaging (Martina Franca,
Italy 2002), leading experts in mathematical techniques and applications
presented broad and useful introductions for non-experts and
practitioners alike to many aspects of this exciting field. The volume
contains part of the above lectures completed and updated by additional
contributions on other related topics.
