IBEHS 4D03 - Introduction to Medical Imaging

3 unit(s)

Through this introductory course, students will learn methods of how medical images are formed, and will gain knowledge of the Fourier transform and its applications in medical imaging. Basic understanding of the sources of noise and artifacts in the different modalities will also be attained, along with an understanding of the limits to the achievable resolution. Imaging modalities that will be covered include ultrasound, x-rays, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
