General course objectives:The purpose of the course is to give a thorough introduction to modern diagnostic imaging systems. This includes the primary systems as X-ray, computer tomgraphy (CT), ultrasound and MR. Certain aspects of PET, PET/CT and SPECT will also be explained. Both the physics behind the systems will be taught as well as the signal processing performed in the systems. A number of exercises will be made. Two projects about two different imaging systems must be handed in during the course. Learning objectivesA student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
Content:Physics of ultrasound imaging. B-mode imaging. Signal processing in flow estimation systems (Doppler Systems). X-ray physics and imaging. CT scanning and reconstruction. MR scanning and reconstruction. PET, PET/CT and SPECT scanning. Molecular Imaging. Matlab exercises. Implementation of signal processing. Report writing. Oral exam. |
