Description:
Current developments in the technology of imaging have led to an explosive growth in the interdisciplinary field
of imaging science. With the advent of new devices capable of seeing objects and structures not previously
imagined, the reach of science and medicine have been extended in a multitude of different ways. The impact of
this technology has been to generate new challenges associated with the problems of formation, acquisition,
compression, transmission, and analysis of images. By their very nature, these challenges cut across the
disciplines of physics, engineering, mathematics, biology, medicine, and statistics. While the primary purpose of
this conference is to focus on mathematical issues, the biomedical aspects of imaging will also play an important
role.
This conference represents the first official function organized by the newly formed SIAM Activity Group on Imaging Science (SIAG/IS). This SIAG and the SIAG on the Life Sciences were both created in recognition of the fact that the mathematics community should participate more directly in these non-traditional areas. Since these two activity groups have such a strong overlap in the area of biomedical imaging, this conference has been scheduled to overlap with the Conference on the Life Sciences, chaired by James Collins, set for March 6-8, 2002.
