Learning and Teaching Methods
The module is based on a classic lecture with manuscript and student notes. To deepen the learned material hands-on demonstrations on the different modalities are part of the lecture. Initially the students can observe the use-case of the different imaging systems during the clinical routine. Additionally, experiments are conducted to deepen the understanding of the different systems and their functionality.
