５．講演要旨
　　The interface between medical research and computers is becoming
increasingly important. Familiar examples are computerized tomography
(CT) resulting in 3-D images, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and
computer analysis of DNA chip data. A relatively new and interesting
technique is Fluorescence Molecular Tomography (FMT) in which the
interrogating source resides in the body. Further, unlike the ionizing
X-rays used in CT, the imaging is done in the visible band, which is a
beneficial feature. The limitations are (1) the small depth: light in
the optical range can propagate through tissue for distances only on the
order of multiple centimeters, and (2) high scattering.
Therefore the technique has been primarily applied on small animals
which are often the subject in advanced medical research. The scattering
poses new modeling and computational challenges. This talk presents the
theoretical background, computational techniques needed, and some
simulation results. Professor Y. Inoguchi, JAIST, is collaborating on
this research, aimed specifically on the parallel implementation of the
inverse problem.

Bio-sketch: Vijay Jain received his Ph.D. degree from the Michigan
State University in 1964. He is currently a Distinguished Professor at
the University of South Florida (USF), U.S.A. He has been a faculty
member at USF since 1972 and has held various positions: Associate
Professor in 1972, Professor in 1976, and Distinguished Professor in
1995. His research interests include parallel processing,
interconnection networks, VLSI design, signal and image processing, and
high performance computing. He has served as the Program Chairman or
General Chairman of 11 international conferences.
