This course introduces the main methods of medical imaging, namely X-ray, nuclear medicine, magnetic resonance and ultrasound. It enables students to develop an understanding of the physics principles underlying these imaging techniques and an awareness of their clinical applications. It also discusses the mathematical principle involved in image formation and processing and provides experience in their use.
Course Content
