This learning unit (LU) will allow the student to gather knowledge and fundamental skills to the mathematical modeling of inverse problems related with medical imaging, as well as to explore some numerical methods to solve them., including theoretical analysis of the methods and computational implementation.
Since it is a LU with a strong numerical analysis component, the student should have some background in linear algebra, mathematical and numerical analysis and programming.
Most of the supporting study materials are in english.
