This course is intended for students who want to get an in depth knowledge on these state-of-the-art 3D and 4D medical imaging technologies. Medical imaging comprises different imaging modalities and processes to image the human body for diagnostic and treatment purposes. Modern imaging techniques rely heavily on advanced physics and mathematics for image acquisition and reconstruction.
After a general introduction on the basic physics of medical imaging, the course will cover a number of advanced imaging techniques. We will focus on the principal imaging modalities used in the clinic: i.e. MRI, CT, Nuclear Imaging, and Ultrasound. Modern 3D and 4D (3D volume + time) imaging techniques will be discussed. The relevance of these techniques will be illustrated with examples from medical practice, including applications in cardiology, oncology, and orthopaedics.
The course offers a solid background for further study of Medical Imaging and research at the AMC and VUMC. Prior basic knowledge of medical imaging at the bachelor level is recommended.
