Description
Medical imaging techniques have become important tools for monitoring of diseases and understanding of the molecular aspects of living organisms. This course provides a broad-based overview of major imaging techniques used in biomedical patient care and research. Imaging techniques covered include x-ray, computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, nuclear medicine (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The underlying physics, image formation theories and selected applications are lectured. Prerequisite: EGR 382. (3 units; Spring)
