Course overview
In this course, students will gain an understanding of the physical principles involved in a broad range of medical imaging modalities, including X-rays, ultrasound, and nuclear magnetic resonance. Students will develop a critical knowledge on the signal processing approaches used to reconstruct images from measured data and how measurement parameters affect the image contrast.
Course learning outcomes
- Be able to demonstrate a firm understanding of various medical imaging modalities from an engineering perspective
- Be able to articulate the biomedical applications and limitations of various imaging technologies
- Be able to demonstrate creative and critical thinking about biomedical imaging technologies through reports and group presentation.
