Medical Imaging Systems 2

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Radioelectronics

Synopsis:

Course is primarily concentrated on principles and properties of 2D medical imaging tomographic systems as CT, NMR, SPECT and PET. Some lectures are devoted to microscopy. Within the CT and MRI medical imaging systems we concentrate on signal processing and image construction. We suppose fundamental knowledge in mathematics.
