The Medical Imaging 1100-3BF13
The students get know, about physical phenomena which are applied in modern process of formation biomedical images and will study the mathematical fundamentals of the imaging reconstruction. Besides of the theoretical knowledge, the students will learn about practical implementation of the modern biomedical equipment involved in biomedical imaging and side effects caused by it.
Program of the lecture.
1. Brief revision of the physics of the radiation and quantum mechanics (alpha, beta and gamma radiation, X-rays generation: Photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, Rayleigh scattering, Thompson scattering, pair creation and annihilation. Radiation detectors).
2. The aim of the biomedical imaging. The difference between classical planar imaging and tomography.
3. Classical X-Rays diagnostics and Scintigraphy.
4. Basic mathematical foundations of computed tomography. Brief revision of Fourier Transform and convolution theorem. Randon Transform. The properties of radon Transform. The application of the Radon Transform in computer graphics and imaging reconstruction. The methods and algorithm of imaging reconstruction.
5. X-rays computer tomography (CT).
6. Single Photon Emission Tomography (SPECT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
7. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
8. Ultrasonography
9. Medical imaging techniques exploiting laser light.
