Aim:  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 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. Two projects about CT scanning and ultrasound must be handed in during the course.
Contents:  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 and SPECT scanning. Implementation of signal processing. Report writing.
