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, CT and ultrasound. Certain aspects of NMR, 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 reports about CT scanning and ultrasound must be handed in during the course.
Contents: X-ray physics and imaging. CT scanning and reconstruction. Physics of ultrasound imaging. B-mode imaging. Signal processing in flow estimation systems. NMR, PET and SPECT scanning. Implementation of signal processing. Report writing.
