1. PrerequisitesAt the start of this course the student should have acquired the following competences: An active knowlegde of : Specific prerequisites for this course:
The student must have a sufficient mathematical and physical basic knowledge (Bachelor).
2. Learning outcomes
What are you considered to know/anticipate by pursuing this course?
-
You have insight in the interaction of radiation with matter and patients;
-
You have developed an insight in the physical principles of different imaging techniques and their practical use in modern imaging instrumentation; you are potentially able to describe these in your own words, recognize and formulate;
-
you have developed an insight in the reconstruction of different image modalities and the physical parameter which is being visualized (e.g. absorption, reflection, transmission, scattering, energy, radioactive decay, frequency shift, energy of nucleus in extern magnetic field, temperature,..); you are potentially able to describe these in your own words, recognize, formulate;
-
for each of the discussed imaging techniques you are able to describe the origin of the image intensities; you are able to explain why specific tissues are represented dark or bright in the images;
-
you have developed an insight how different imaging techniques can be used in a preclinical and a clinical context.
3. Course contents
The course discusses the physical principles, image reconstruction and clinical & preclinical applications of the different biomedical imaging modalities:
1.
interaction of radiation with matter
2.
X-ray imaging and CT-scan: instrumentation, interaction of X-radiation with matter and patients, possibilities of imaging, image reconstruction, artefacts
3.
Echography with ultrasound: instrumentation, interaction US wave with matter, possibilities of imaging (A,B,M-mode-real time), Doppler ultrasound
4.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging: instrumentation, origin of the MR signal, image contrast, image reconstruction
5.
Radionuclide imaging: scintigraphy, SPECT and PET, radioactivity and detectors
During the practical demonstrations
(MRI,CT,US,PET), students will be introduced to the operation of the different imaging modalities being used for biomedical imaging and research on laboratory animals and patients.
In the second part " Optical techniques" we discuss correctly use and types of optical microscopes. The rays and application possibilities of among other things the compound microscope, phase contrast microscope, dark field microscope, fluorescence microscope and confocal laser scanning microscope are treated. Lab demonstrations - under form of capita selecta - show some modern optical measure techniques which are used in medical imaging.
