Title: Computational Problems in Emission Computed Tomography

Abstract
Introduction, (how a nice mathematician got hooked up with a bunch of medical imaging guys). What is medical imaging? Voxel sensitivity across the field of view for different imaging configurations. System design for positron coincidence detection systems. Measure success by examining cross talk matrix, which gives info on MTF of the system as well as aliasing.
