Objectives of the Course
|
The aim of this course is to provide fundamental knowledge of medical imaging systems, teach their operating principles, explain how medical images are generated, and develop the ability to compare the advantages and disadvantages of each imaging modality.
|
|
Course Content
|
This course provides an in-depth introduction to basic medical imaging systems including Radiography (X-ray), Computed Tomography (CT), Gamma Camera, Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Ultrasound, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The course covers the working principles, image formation, advantages, and disadvantages of these modalities.
|
|
Course Methods and Techniques
|
The course is based on a student-centered approach that incorporates in-class activities, group work, homework assignments, mini projects, and technical trips. Various interactive methods such as discussions, peer collaboration, and hands-on applications will be employed. The teaching methodology also includes individual presentations and integration of technology-enhanced learning tools to support critical thinking and practical understanding.
