M21. Imaging Modalities: Recent Advances and Beyond

The past century has witnessed accelerated development in imaging techniques for medical, biological, industrial and geophysical applications using a wide range of physical modalities. Examples include including microscopy, ultrasound, X-ray transmission, positron emission, magnetic resonance, electrical impedance, photoacoustic effect, microwave radiation, atmospheric muons, and seismic waves. The realm of imaging modalities is constantly expanding. However, each modality and application considered still provides different challenges from both the theoretical and computational point of views. This mini-symposium is aiming to highlight some of the most recent, promising and exciting scientific developments to overcome them.
