Title: Phase space analysis in medical imaging

Abstract: An MRI is a device which measures the Fourier transform of the proton density distribution of an object. I'll explain in more detail how an MRI works. I'll describe some of the goals and challenges of medical imaging - in particular reconstruction and segmentation. I will also explain some applications of phase space analysis in MRI and show how it can significantly improve the results. In particular, I'll introduce wavefront detectors, which are a promising new method of processing MRI data.
