The aim is for students to understand the theoretical background, mode of operation and practical application of systems designed to image either anatomy or physiological function using ionising radiation. It will also introduce the student to the methods by which images can be processed and assessed, and to the basic principles of quality control. Topics include interactions of radiation with matter especially with reference to biological tissue, radiation sources, radiation detectors including current state of the art and future perspectives, interactions between components of an imaging system and their effect on image quality and system performance, image analysis and assessment, quality control.
