Summary
In this paper we present some inverse problems in technical medicine. They are stemming from diagnostic methods like imaging. The question of the display of those results is attacked, and finally we address the problem of optimal treatment planning in hyperthermia. We first discuss inverse problems and the related mathematical questions. The general results are adapted to the above mentioned applications.
The research of the author was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft under grant Lo 310/2–4.
