Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
Introduction and examples of inverse problems; vector spaces; definition of inverse problem; well-posedness according to Hadamard; injection, surjection, bijection of functions; Null-space and range space of operators; linear inverse problems; eigenvalue problem; decomposition theorem; singular value decomposition; inverse methods based on length; least squares and determinancy; minimum length; the generalized inverse; nonlinear inverse problems; regularization methods and comparison of different classes; Computed Tomography; Radon transform; backprojection; Fourier-slice theorem; filtered backprojection; deconvolution methods.
Learning Outcome
The students will learn basic mathematical tools to analyze and solve inverse problems. The aim of this lecture is to provide sufficient understanding of the underlying inverse problems and strategies for solving these problems. At the end of the lecture, the students will be able to theoretically and practically analyze, experimentally design and implement the required algorithms to solve various inverse problems in medical imaging.
Preconditions
Good knowledge of mathematics (Bachelor course)
