BME/EECS 516 - Fall 2004 - Course Web Site
| Course Description: |
We'll examine, from a systems perspective, the techniques used to form internal images of (living) human bodies. These imaging systems are used for tasks ranging from cancer detection to basic biophysical and cognitive research, and include planar X-ray and gamma-ray (nuclear medicine) imaging, X-ray tomography, ultrasound, single-photon tomography, positron emission tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). |
| Prerequesites: | Linear systems theory, Fourier transforms, Digital Signal
Processing. EECS 451 is formally listed, but many undergrad DSP
classes will be sufficient. The main issues is exposure to
spectral analysis, Fourier transforma and sampling. A working knowledge of Matlab will be necessary. |
| Recommended Texts: | Medical Imaging Systems A Macovski (1983, Prentice-Hall) – In N. Campus Bookstore Principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging D Nishimura (1996) – Available for $30 from instructor or from Kristen or Deb in Gerstacker 1107. Reference Materials |
| Grading and policies: | 10% Homework 60% Projects (20% for each of 3 projects) 30% Final Exam (take home final, Due Dec. 21, 5pm) Course and grading policies |
