Biomedical Imaging

Dates for the lecture and exercise see RWTHOnline.

This lecture covers methods, devices and the underlying physics of biomedical imaging technqiues. Modalities discussed include planar X-ray imaging, computer tomography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, imaging in nuclear medicine (PET, SPECT), endoscopy and microscopy. In addition, the basics of multidimensional system theory and quality criteria of imaging, such as modulation transfer function (MTF), noise-equivalent quanta (NEQ) and detective quantum efficiency (DQE) will be addressed.
