Reconstruction of objects from radiographs and the location of brain tumors.
The objective of this research is two-fold: (i) the development of a method for locating hemorrhages, blood clots, and tumors in the brain by means of ordinary hospital radiographs and without the introduction of contrast material; and (ii) the uncovering of new mathematical results through this point of view. The present note deals mainly with the first objective, but the mathematical setting and convergence and indeterminacy theorems are also described.
