Inverse Problems in Medical Imaging and Nondestructive Testing : Proceedings of the Conference in Oberwolfach Federal Republic of Germany February 4–10 1996 14 contributions present mathematical models for different imaging techniques in medicine and nondestructive testing. The underlying mathematical models are presented in a way that also newcomers in the field have a chance to understand the relation between the special applications and the mathematics needed for successfully treating these problems. The reader gets an insight into a modern field of scientific computing with applications formerly not presented in such form leading from the basics to actual research activities
