Recommended or required readings
See the individual components.
In summary,
A) Slides will be available for students.
C) Text documents and slides are downloadable (eCampus). A textbook covering the tomography reconstruction is a strongly recommanded lecture (available at the Presses Universitaires de Liège).
Text documents and slides are downloadable (myULiège).
The section devoted to tomography reconstruction is based on the book (in french) "Reconstruction tomographique: première approche" by A. Seret et M. Defrise (2014) published at the Presses Universitaires de Liège.
