Medical Imaging Systems

• Understanding the physical principles underlying the clinical imaging systems.
• Understanding progress in the practical application of an imaging system for clinical use.
• Assess sources of error in imaging systems for clinical use.
• Link the principles of image formation, practical use, and evaluation of sources of error for X-ray images.
• Link the principles of image formation, practical use, and evaluation of error sources of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
• Link the principles of image formation, practical use, and evaluation of error sources of the computer tomography (CT).
• Link the principles of image formation, practical use, and evaluation of error sources of positron emission tomography (PET).
• Link the principles of image formation, practical use, and evaluation of error sources of ultrasound.

Physical principles of clinical imaging systems; practical applications of imaging systems for clinical use, assessment of the causes of error in imaging systems for clinical use.
Associating the above to X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, computer tomography (CT) scan, positron emission tomography (PET) scans, and ultrasound.
