            This 5-day workshop aims to bring together experts from microlocal 
              analysis with medical imaging practitioners. The focus will be on 
              the following topics: 
              i) Microlocal Analysis in Tomography, Thermoacoustic Tomography, 
              Electron Tomography. 
              ii) Numerical Methods of Pseudodifferential Operators. 
              iii) Stockwell and Wavelet Transforms in Medical Imaging. 
              iv) Wavelets and Curvelets in Medical Imaging. 
              v) Microlocal Analysis of the Geometric Separation Problem in Imaging.
