Course details

Medical Imaging Systems

BPC-ZSL FEKT BPC-ZSL Acad. year 2024/2025 Summer semester 5 credits

The content of this course is the study of imaging systems used in medicine. At first, the necessary concepts of imaging process theory and imaging process quality assessment are defined. Individual imaging systems are described with respect to the physical principles of their operation, the construction of  the devices and their clinical applications. The course covers the complete spectrum of imaging systems that are used in clinical practice.
