Original research articles that make a significant contribution to the field of image reconstruction from projections through the use of matrix theory and finite dimensional linear algebra are welcome. In this context, finite dimensional optimization theory and techniques are not ruled out. Any discipline for which image reconstruction is used will be considered, e.g., medicine, material testing, astronomy, optics, geophysics, atmospheric research. There is no restriction as to the modalities or underlying physical models, in medical imaging, for example, CT, PET, MRI, Ultrasound are included. Usually discretization (full or partial) of the model at an early stage of the analysis leads to finite dimensional linear algebra; authors are encouraged to include a concise introductory section describing the particular image reconstruction problem(s) they address and the modeling process. Papers may include mathematical results within the scope of LINEAR ALGEBRA AND ITS APPLICATIONS (published in every issue of the journal) which are motivated by, contributing to, or applicable to problems and methods of image reconstruction. Papers demonstrating through computational experimental work the use of established linear algebra based methods in image reconstruction are also very welcome. The issue is open to all and papers will be refereed in the usual way. The deadline for submission is 30 November 1988, with expected publication in the Fall of 1989. Authors should submit five copies of the manuscript (prepared according to the guidelines described in "Information for Authors" published in every issue of LAA) to one of the following special editors: Yair Censor Department of Mathematics and Computer Science University of Haifa Mt.
