Medical Imaging Methods

Objectives

Mastery of the basic principle of operation of the following medical imaging techniques: X-ray, Computed Axial Tomography (CAT); Scintigraphy; tomography single photon emission tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), Ultrasound Imaging.
Application of the basic image processing techniques and image reconstruction by Radon transform. These techniques will be developed by using MatLab.
