This award will support an NSF/CMBS regional conference to be held at the University of Texas at Arlington in the summer of 2012 on the topic of mathematical methods of computed tomography. The principal speaker will be Professor Peter Kuchment from Texas A&M University. This award will support 30 participants at different stages of their careers. Computed tomography techniques used for medical imaging aim to recover the internal distribution of various important tissue parameters such as density, water content, oxygenation, hemoglobin content, electrical conductivity, optical properties, and mechanical properties. These are parameters are used by medical practitioners for diagnosis of many types of conditions.The conference will survey mathematical techniques, results, and open problems in the actively developing and important field of computed tomography, aiming to encourage both established and more junior mathematicians to begin research in this field. The speaker will address both classical tomographic modalities, such as x-ray computed tomography, single photon emission computed tomography, positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, electrical impedance tomography, ultrasound tomography, and optical tomography, and novel hybrid methods currently being developed, such as thermoacoustic and photoacoustic tomography, magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography, acousto-electric tomography, acousto-optical tomography, and magnetic resonance elastography.

该奖项将支持2012年夏天在德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校举行的NSF/CMB区域会议，讨论计算机断层扫描的数学方法。首席发言人将是德克萨斯农工大学的彼得·久场教授。该奖项将在其职业生涯的不同阶段为30名参与者提供支持。用于医学成像的计算机断层扫描技术旨在恢复各种重要组织参数的内部分布，例如密度，水含量，氧合，血红蛋白含量，电导率，光学特性和机械性能。这些参数被医生用于诊断许多类型的状况。会议将在积极发展的计算机断层扫描的积极发展和重要领域进行数学技术，结果和开放问题，旨在鼓励建立和更多的初级数学家开始在该领域的研究。 The speaker will address both classical tomographic modalities, such as x-ray computed tomography, single photon emission computed tomography, positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, electrical impedance tomography, ultrasound tomography, and optical tomography, and novel hybrid methods currently being developed, such as thermoacoustic and photoacoustic tomography, magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography, acousto-electric tomography,声学断层扫描和磁共振弹性。
