Workshop on Inverse Problems and Medical Imaging

PI: Gunther Uhlmann，华盛顿大学dms -0331711-------------------------------------------------------------医学成像和反问题研讨会该研讨会将于2003年8月4日至9日在加拿大温哥华举行，将重点讨论医学成像的最新发展，特别是数学方面的进步，这些进步使得广泛使用的成像技术（如x射线断层扫描、磁共振成像和超声波成像）得到显著增强。数学发展在新兴医学成像模式，如电阻抗断层扫描和光学断层扫描也将进行调查。研讨会的目的是将这些领域不同方面的研究人员聚集在一起，并鼓励数学家、物理学家和医生之间的互动。该研讨会将由太平洋数学科学研究所（PIMS）和美国国家科学基金会共同主办。研讨会的另一个目的是促进美国和加拿大数学家和科学家之间的国际合作。受邀的演讲者是致力于逆问题在医学成像中的应用的数学家，以及直接处理这些应用的科学家和医生。该资助将允许初级研究人员和数学领域代表性不足的群体成员参加本次研讨会，并了解医学成像领域的新数学发展。

PI: Gunther Uhlmann, University of WashingtonDMS-0331711-------------------------------------------------------------Workshop on medical imaging and inverse problemsThis workshop, to be held August 4-9, 2003 in Vancouver, Canada, will focus on recent developments in medical imaging, in particularly the advances in mathematics which have allowed for significant enhancement of widely used imaging techniques such as X-ray tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasonic imaging. Mathematical developments in emerging medical imaging modalities like electrical impedance tomography and optical tomography will also be surveyed. The aim of the workshop is to bring together investigators working on different aspects of these fields and to encourage interaction between mathematicians, physicists and physicians.The workshop will be jointly sponsored by the Pacific Institute of Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) and NSF. Another aim of the workshop is to foster international collaboration between US and Canadian mathematicians and scientists. The invited speakers are mathematicians working on applications of inverse problems to medical imaging and scientists and physicians dealing directly with the applications. The grant will allow junior researchers and members of underrepresented groups in Mathematics to participate in this workshop and learn about new mathematical developments in medical imaging.
