Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Introduction to radiology, nuclear medicine and tomography techniques used by these medical imaging modalities as well as a practical teaching on digital images.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course the student will be able
- to describe and explain the physics of conventionnal radiology (analogic or digital images),
- to describe and explain the physics of CT-scan,
- to describe and explain the physics of in-vivo diagnostic nuclear medicine (scintigraphy and positron emission tomography),
- to describe and explain the mathematics of the problem of tomography reconstruction and the backprojection,
- to use a software of medical image processing.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Courses PHYS0093 & PHYS2009 of Bachelor in physical sciences or equivalent courses.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Mainly theoretical course. Practice with digital images is self-learning.
