| Course Objectives |
This course will provide a detailed review of imaging principles and instrumentation of all the conventional clinical imaging systems, including X-ray radiography, computerized tomography (CT), gamma camera, SPECT, PET, ultrasound (US), Doppler US, Magnetic Resonance (MR) and functional MR (f-MR).
|
| Course Description |
• General characteristics of imaging systems;
• X-ray and CT: general principles, interaction of X-rays with tissues, contrast agents, imaging techniques, image reconstruction, radiation dose;
• Nuclear Medicine: general principles, radionuclide, radioactive decay, gamma camera, imaging techniques, SPECT, PET;
• Ultrasound imaging: general principles, interaction of acoustic waves with tissue, acoustic impedance, instrumentation, scanning modes, artifacts, blood velocity measurements, contrast agents;
• MR imaging: general principles, nuclear magnetism, magnetic resonance, instrumentation, imaging sequences, contrast agents, imaging techniques, functional MRI.
|
| Course Outcomes |
A student who has taken this course
I. has learned basic characteristics of imaging systems in diagnostic radiology,
II. recognizes commonly used imaging systems and their operating principles,
III. recognizes which system will provide the most helpful diagnostic images for a specific patient,
IV. has developed a sense for radiological safety. |
| Pre-requisite(s) |
BIL 105E, BIL 108E, FIZ 102E, MAT 201 or MAT 281(E), EHB 211(E) or ELE 222(E), EHB 212(E) and EHB 252(E) |
| Required Facilities |
Personal computer and effective use of library facilities |
| Other |
• As part of in class participation each student will have to do several oral and/or written presentations on topics assigned by the instructor.
• Each student will simulate an imaging modality (such as, CT or US) using a tissue phantom of his/her choice and will present the results with a demonstration and in laboratory report format.
• An in depth review on an imaging modality/system not covered in class. Results of this literature/lab or clinical study review will be presented orally in class and in writing in report format. |
