Course content
Medical imaging modalities based on nuclear medicine (SPECT, PET), X-ray computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging. Theory for image formation, image noise, image reconstruction and image processing. Quality assurance of medical imaging diagnostics.
Learning outcome
The student acquires knowledge about physical priciples and methods used in medical diagnostics based on medical imaging. This includes being able to explain principles and implementations of computed tomography (CT) based on the use of nuclear medicine, roentgen X-rays, and magnetic resonance. The student can explain different forms of imaging by ultrasound, and how such imaging is principally different from CT-based imaging. The student acquires skills in evaluating performance parameters, application areas, as well as advantages and disadvantages of different modalities of medical imaging.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and mandatory laboratory assignments or demonstrations. Teaching will be in English if students on international master programs are attending the course. Expected workload in the course is 225 hours.
Compulsory assignments
- Laboratory exercises
Further on evaluation
When lectures and lecture material are in English, the exam may be given in English only. Students are free to choose Norwegian or English for written assessments. The re-sit examination (in August) may be changed from written to oral.
Recommended previous knowledge
Course TFY4225 Nuclear and Radiation Physics or equivalent is required.
