Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions

Content

1. Basic concepts and fundamentals of medical physics: overview, physics of the interaction between energy and matter, EM fields, ultrasound
2. Modern methods in diagnostic medical imaging
3. Imaging technique (various types of detectors in radiology and nuclear medicine, imaging technique in MRI and ultrasound)
4. Tomography & Reconstruction (MRI, μCT, CT, SPECT, PET)
5. Clinical applications of various clinical and pre-clinical imaging systems (MRI, CT, SPECT, PET, X-ray, Ultrasound)

Learning Outcome

The students are familiar with the current procedures and fields of application of medical imaging. They understand the necessary image acquisition technique and their technical and physical fundamentals as well as the image formation process. Furthermore, from a medical point of view, students understand the application of the different imaging systems.
