Place:Course in Moodle
Content:
Since the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen in 1895 imaging systems have become an integral and indispensable part in science and medicine. By now they are an essential key technology in modern biomedicine. Besides the classical X-ray projection and the more recently introduced computed tomography (CT), imaging systems encompass also devices based on magnetic resonance or ultrasound waves.
The purpose of this course is to introduce the physical principles, fundamental properties and technical concepts of these systems as they are applied today in medicine and physics. Applications and current developments will be presented. The focus of this course will be on systems employing ionizing radiation.
This semester the lecture will be held in a digital format using the Moodle system of the Friedrich Schiller University.
