This cross-disciplinary book documents the key research challenges
in the mathematical sciences and physics that could enable the
economical development of novel biomedical imaging devices. It is
hoped that the infusion of new insights from mathematical
scientists and physicists will accelerate progress in imaging.
Incorporating input from dozens of biomedical researchers who
described what they perceived as key open problems of imaging that
are amenable to attack by mathematical scientists and physicists,
this book introduces the frontiers of biomedical imaging,
especially the imaging of dynamic physiological functions, to the
educated nonspecialist. Ten imaging modalities are covered, from
the well-established (e.g., CAT scanning, MRI) to the more
speculative (e.g., electrical and magnetic source imaging). For
each modality, mathematics and physics research challenges are
identified and a short list of suggested reading offered. Two
additional chapters offer visions of the next generation of
surgical and interventional techniques and of image processing. A
final chapter provides an overview of mathematical issues that cut
across the various modalities. Table of Contents FRONT MATTER 1
