Average Course Rating

This class will provide an introduction to medical imaging. It will cover the following imaging modalities: X-ray, computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, photoacoustic, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The basic principles, instrumentation, and applications of each imaging modality will be presented. The course will include a mixture of lectures, classroom discussions, student presentations, and imaging demos. Assignments will test theoretical knowledge and practical applications. Theoretical concepts will come to life through real-world examples and hands-on MATLAB image formation exercises, including activities to reconstruct medical images from raw data. Introductory physics, chemistry, and pre-calculus math are recommended pre-requisites.
