BIOMED 705 / Medical Imaging for Physical Scientists

M. Noseworthy

Each week in this course an invited radiologist will speak on the current state of the art in a particular area of diagnostic medical imaging (e.g., musculoskeletal radiology, neuroradiology, interventional radiology, etc.). They will outline the approaches they use to diagnose and grade disease and the limitations of the technology, as they see it from a clinical perspective. This presentation will be followed (on a different day) by a synopsis and open discussion on how the technology is used, the limitations, and potential avenues or approaches on how students would improve the technology for better assessing disease.
