Upon completion of the course, students should have:
- basic knowledge of the physics, data acquisition and image reconstruction techniques of the main medical imaging modalities such as X-ray Radiography, PET, SPECT (nuclear medicine), Computed Tomography (CT), MRI and Ultrasound
- experience to implement basic Radon transform based image reconstruction methods (such as Filtered Back-Projection, Iterative methods) using MATLAB scientific software
- understanding of the image quality concepts such as resolution, modulation transfer function, sampling, contrast, noise, ROC analysis
