Regularization Techniques in Medical Imaging

  • Conference paper
Mathematics and Computer Science in Medical Imaging

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NATO ASI F,volume 39))

Abstract

We give a very short account of ill-posed problems and the method of regularization. We then show how this method is being used in various problems from tomography, such as incomplete problems and the problem of attenuation correction in emission computed tomography.
