Pre-requisites
Background in the physical sciences equivalent to Level 2 PhysicsObjectives
At the end of the module students will understand, in some detail, the underlying physical and mathematical bases behind the principal forms of imaging which are currently used in medicine.Syllabus
In this module, all the principal forms of medical imaging are considered. The underlying physical principles are examined in some detail and the means by which these are exploited in the production of clinically useful images are described. The limitations which the physical principles impose are considered as are the constraints imposed by the requirements of minimising the hazard to the patient. Each form of imaging is set in its clinical context so that the relative merits of each form can be assessed.
Teaching methods
22 Lectures plus formative assessment exercises.
Methods of assessment
One two hour written examination at the end of the second semester.
