Overview
What you will study
In addition to the theory of the physical processes, detectors and sources for medical imaging will covered in the Ionising Radiation Imaging course offered by KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
Consequences of the exposure of living tissues to ionising radiation are also treated during the course. Laboratory exercises and project work are also part of the learning activities offered in the course to support and demonstrate the theory and to train student's experimental capabilities.
After finishing the course, the student should be able to:
- Describe and apply relevant physical processes to the detection of ionising radiation, the estimation of radiation dose and the design of imaging de- vices for x-ray Computed tomography (CT), Single Photon Emission (SPE) imaging and Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
- Describe the rationale of detector and scanner design as well as of data acquisition protocols in CT, SPE and PET and relate those to the outcome of the imaging procedure (i. .e dose and image quality).
- Describe, quantify and discuss common trade offs among image quality measures, dose, and various detector performances in medical imaging with ionising radiation.
