Medical Imaging Techniques: Principles and Applications

Description

This course introduces principles of medical imaging, focusing on major imaging modalities including ultrasound, X-ray radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear medicine imaging. The course covers the physics and engineering aspects of how various imaging signals are acquired and processed in order to form medically useful images. The course applies the classical knowledge of engineering physics and signals and systems techniques to the development of various medical imaging technologies. Basic mathematical tools required to understand how the tomographic imaging modalities work are presented. Sources of image noise and other causes of artifacts are introduced, and the mechanisms that govern the achievable resolution of the different modalities are discussed. The course also covers essentials of medical image analysis. The students will learn the fundamentals, basic design and applications of medical imaging systems, imaging signal processing and medical image analysis. Background in signals and systems, and basic knowledge of physics are required before taking the course. Integrated with: GS/EECS 5640 3.00. Prerequisites: LE/EECS 2602 4.00 or LE/EECS 3451 4.00
