10 Medical imaging. An important example is the human body: We want to know accurately what is inside but we do not want to tear it apart. Nowadays it is possible for a doctor to see (indirectly) what is inside a patient, and this has revolutionized medicine. Joonas Ilmavirta (Jyväskylä) Inverse problems 8 September /
