The design of successful numerical methods for image processing and other biomedical applications require a thorough understanding of the underlying problems and of the desired solutions, as well as of the instrumentation for data collection and the computational environment. This proposal seeks support for the PI to spend his sabbatical year, and part of the summers attached to it at the Biomedical Engineering department at Case Western Reserve University. J. Duerk and D. Wilson will serve as hosts to the PI during his stay. A year of full time immersion in the biomedical environment at CWRU will give the PI an opportunity to strengthen and broaden his image processing knowledge and to view the field from the engineering perspective. He will also acquire significant insight in various biomedical engineering applications whose solution is computationally challenging. The PI's expertise on numerical methods for large-scale computations and the recent applications to the restoration of images will make it possible to begin interacting with faculty and students in the hosting department from the start, thus allowing him to take advantage of all learning opportunities. It is envisioned that this interaction will develop into a solid and fruitful cooperation on the development of better numerical methods for novel medical applications, e.g., interventional MRI for a new less invasive cancer treatment. The new knowledge and skills will significantly broaden the PI's expertise and will open new avenues for his future research. Upon returning to his home institution, where there is neither an engineering school nor a medical school, he will divulge his new knowledge of medical imaging and of the engineering perspective on it by directing the work of Masters and PhD students, designing new, interdisciplinary courses and giving a series of lectures and seminars. Upon return to his department the PI will be able to -introduce applications from biomedical enginee ring in graduate and undergraduate courses on numerical analysis and scientific computing -assign computational problems arising in biomedical engineering for Ph.D. and Masters theses, possibly in collaboration with members of the Department for Biomedical Engineering at CWRU. This should yield thesis topics that students would find interesting and attractive, as well as make the students more attractive on the job market -organize seminars on computational problems in biomedical engineering, and if there is interest, develop courses on "Computational Problems in Biomedical Engineering" -serve as liaison between his department and the Department of Biomedical Engineering at CWRU. This IGMS project is jointly supported by the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA) and the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS).

用于图像处理和其他生物医学应用的成功数值方法的设计需要透彻理解根本问题和所需的解决方案，以及数据收集和计算环境的仪器。 该提案寻求支持 PI 在凯斯西储大学生物医学工程系度过休假年以及与之相关的部分暑假。 J. Duerk 和 D. Wilson 将在 PI 逗留期间接待他。 在 CWRU 的生物医学环境中全职沉浸一年将使 PI 有机会加强和拓宽他的图像处理知识，并从工程角度看待该领域。 他还将获得对各种生物医学工程应用的深刻见解，这些应用的解决方案在计算上具有挑战性。 PI 在大规模计算数值方法方面的专业知识以及最近在图像恢复方面的应用将使他能够从一开始就与托管部门的教师和学生进行互动，从而使他能够利用所有的学习机会。 预计这种互动将发展成为坚实而富有成效的合作，为新型医学应用开发更好的数值方法，例如用于新的微创癌症治疗的介入 MRI。 新的知识和技能将显着拓宽 PI 的专业知识，并为其未来的研究开辟新的途径。返回既没有工程学院也没有医学院的家乡后，他将通过指导硕士和博士生的工作、设计新的跨学科课程以及举办一系列讲座和研讨会，传播他在医学成像方面的新知识以及工程观点。 返回所在部门后，PI 将能够 - 在研究生和本科生的数值分析和科学计算课程中引入生物医学工程的应用 - 为博士生分配生物医学工程中出现的计算问题。和硕士学位论文，可能与 CWRU 生物医学工程系的成员合作。 这应该产生学生会感兴趣和有吸引力的论文主题，并使学生在就业市场上更具吸引力 - 组织生物医学工程中计算问题的研讨会，如果有兴趣，开发“生物医学工程中的计算问题”课程 - 作为他的部门和 CWRU 生物医学工程系之间的联络人。 该IGMS项目由公安部多学科活动办公室（OMA）和数学科学部（DMS）共同支持。
