ENGR 552 Introduction to Imaging Technologies
Introduction to common imaging modalities such as ultrasound, x-rays, computer-aided tomography (CAT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET). Advanced computer methods of 2-D and 3-D image reconstruction as well as digital signal processing methods used in image recognition and enhancement of medical images will be covered. Physical principles of imaging, images reconstruction techniques, and advanced digital processing techniques will be discussed.
