Leerdoelen | At the end of the course, the student is able to: 1) relate the performance characteristics of imaging equipment to the • underlying physics principles • design specifications • technology used 2) to argue which image quality metric is most suitable for a certain task. 3) explain the basic principles of tomographic image reconstruction. 4) classify the various magnetic resonance imaging parameters and sequences with respect to image contrast between tissues. 5) summarize how radiotracer requirements impose restrictions on the properties of the radioactive isotopes used in nuclear medicine. 6) make and present a high-quality scientific presentation on the detailed design, operation and performance of a stateof- the-art imaging device. 7) obtain quantitative information from the qualitative knowledge gained during the lectures. 8) get an idea of how the imaging equipment is implemented in the hospital. |

Omschrijving | Imaging is a cornerstone of modern healthcare and its importance is expected to increase in the future. The operation of imaging facilities in hospitals as well as the development of imaging equipment require the skills, knowledge and understanding of engineers. This course provides such knowledge and understanding. The physics principles, instrument design and image reconstruction of the following imaging modalities will be discussed: • in the field of nuclear medicine: single gamma-ray radiography and tomography, positron emission tomography • in the field of radiology: x-ray radiography and tomography, magnetic resonance imaging • in the field of hadron beam radiotherapy: ion beam radiography |

Entreevoorwaarden | The course unit assumes prior knowledge acquired from Basic Detection Techniques (MSc Mechanical Engineering) and Advanced Detection Techniques (MSc Mechanical Engineering). | ||||||||
Opmerkingen | The exam contains open and multiple-choice questions, testing the understanding the students have acquired. A presentation topic is chosen from a list provided by the lecturer. Other topics may be suggested by the students. The presentation is graded based on presentation skills, understanding of the topic and how well questions from the other students and lecturer are answered. |
