From CT to fMRI: Larry Shepp's Impact on Medical Imaging

Abstract

Larry Shepp worked extensively in the field of medical imaging for almost 40 years. He made seminal contributions to the areas of computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). In this review, I highlight some of these important contributions, with the goal of illustrating the important role that mathematics and statistics played in their development.
