167 provides a comprehensive introduction to all major aspects of
standard medical imaging systems used today.
Topics include radiation, dosimetry, x-ray imaging, computed
tomography, nuclear medicine, MRI, ultrasound and imaging applications
in therapy. The fundamental
physics and mathematics underlying each imaging modality is reviewed and
an engineering picture of the hardware needed to implement each system
is examined. The course
will incorporate a journal club review of research papers, term tests and
a term project related to a particular imaging system.
