Abstract
There is considerable interest in the development of optical methods for biomedical
imaging. The physical problem consists of recovering
the optical properties of a medium
in which light propagates by multiple scattering. This talk will review recent
work
on related inverse scattering
problems for the radiative transport equation and
fast image reconstruction algorithms for large data sets.
Numerical simulations and experimental data from model systems are used to illustrate the results.
