Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Cybernetics

Synopsis:

This is a follow-up subject for the Medical Imaging Systems 1 (ZSL1). We shall describe further modern and often used medical imaging systems, namely ultrasound, tomographs, radionuclide imaging devices and magnetic resonance imaging including functional magnetic imaging. Image processing techniques.with applications will be also discussed.
