|
| Course contents : | Medical imaging refers to the techniques and processes used to create images of the human body (or parts thereof) for clinical purposes or medical science (including the study of normal anatomy and function). |
|
| Course objective : | The aim of this course is he presentation of the main medical imaging techniques: X-ray, CT scan, PET, SPECT, US and MRI.
Those techniques will be presented from different perspectives
- physical: where do the detected signal come from ?
- systems: what apparatus can be used to measure those signals ?
- signal processing: how to build an image from the recorded signal(s) ? |
|
| Prerequisites : | Signal processing
Notions of modern physics |
|
| Workshops : | Problem solving, individually or in groups.
Practical sessions at the Cyclotron Research Centre: acquisition, reconstruction and processing of PET and MR images. |
|
| Organization : | Theory is at the Montefiore Institure, B28.
Exercises and pratical sessions will be organised at Montefiore or CRC.
The course can be taught in French or English. |
