The following courses are lectured by the faculty of the track. We are hoping that more courses will be added to cover other areas of medical imaging, in depth.
An introduction to the physics, instrumentation, and signal processing methods used in general radiography, X-ray computed tomography, ultrasound imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear medicine. The primary focus is on the methods required to reconstruct images within each modality, with attention also given to the resulting resolution, contrast, and signal-to-noise ratio of images. Prerequisite: 520.214. Co-listed as 580.472.
The course is an introduction to the field of magnetic resonance imaging. All of the basic principles of magnetic resonance imaging that are necessary to understand current literature are covered. Topics include: Bloch equations, imaging principles, excitation, image contrast mechanisms and instrumentation.
This course builds on the Magnetic Resonance in Medicine course (520/580.473) and introduces current applications. The students will be exposed to existing research topics and become aware of the need for engineering knowledge for the research. Topics covered include, but are not limited to, new imaging methods, signal and image processing, RF coil design, and challenging applications, such as imaging of the heart. Prerequisite 520/580.473 or permission of instructor. Co-listed with 580.748.
