Supervisor:

Department of Biomedical Technology

Synopsis:

Physical principles of the medical imaging systems using tomography, properties and technical-physical limits of their construction. Computed tomography (CT X-ray), magnetic resonance imaging systems (MRI) and single photon and photon (SPECT, PET) pozitron emissive tomography. Specialized systems (MicroCT). Evaluation of image quality.

Study Objective:

To introduce students to physical-technical principles of image formation on tomografical imaging systems. The idea is to understand limiting principles and parameters of these imaging systems. Usingthis understanding, the student will be able to decide which medical doctors requirements are satisfied.
