Medical Imaging Instrumentation

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Medical Imaging Instrumentation
Leerdoelen	At the end of the course, the student is able to: relate the performance and image characteristics of imaging equipment to the underlying physics principles design specifications technology used image reconstruction technique write a high-quality scientific essay on the detailed design, operation and performance of a state-of-the-art imaging device. solve numerical exercises. answer qualitative questions.
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 radiology: X-ray planar radiography CT (computed tomography) ultrasound imaging MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) in the field of nuclear medicine: planar scintigraphy SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) PET/CT (positron emission tomography/CT) in the field of hadron beam radiotherapy: ion beam radiography
