An Introduction to Mathematics of Emerging Biomedical Imaging

This book has grown out of lecture notes for a course on mathematical methods in biomedical imaging at Ecole Polytechnique. Biomedical imaging is a fascinating research area to applied mathematicians. It is quite a hot topic that appeals to many students. Challenging imaging problems arise and they often trigger the investigation of fundamental problems in various branches of mathematics (including inverse problems,

PDEs, harmonic analysis, complex analysis, numerical analysis, optimization, image analysis). Many applied mathematicians have experienced a great feeling of accomplishment when they saw their work having a real impact on medical and clinical decision making.
