Subject:

Description:

In this, an introduction to the art and science of medical imaging, students will learn the basic elements common to all forms of medical imaging utilized in modern radiology departments. Principles, concepts, and applications of signal theory will be studied within the framework of film/screen and digital/computed radiologic imaging and fluoroscopic imaging. A general, introductory application of signal theory to computerized tomography, medical sonography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine imaging will also be presented. Factors, equipment, theoretical foundations relevant to the production of various levels of radiologic density/brightness will also be studied. Application of these factors and diagnostic equipment within structured laboratory exercises will provide practice for the production of consistent, quality images. There will be two two-hour lectures per week. The class will be divided into two four-hour lab sections per week. The course will run for the second seven weeks of the semester.
