Prerequisites (description): | The student, who is going to attend the lecture should have complete the following courses: 1. Fizyka I (Physics I). 2. Fizyka II (Physics II). 3. Fizyka III (Physics III). 4. Any lecture, which main topic is The Nuclear Physics. 5. Any lecture, which main topic is The Quantum Mechanic. |
Short description: |
The aim of this lecture is to provide the students with basics of mathematical and physical knowledge about imaging methods, which are currently used in Medicine and Biomedical Science. The course is addressed mainly to the student of the III year of the Physics, who are specialized In Neuroinformatics or Medical Physic, and to all other students, who are interested in mathematics, physics and medicine. |
Full description: |
The students get know, about physical phenomena which are applied in modern process of formation biomedical images and will study the mathematical fundamentals of the imaging reconstruction. Besides of the theoretical knowledge, the students will learn about practical implementation of the modern biomedical equipment involved in biomedical imaging and side effects caused by it. Program of the lecture. 1. Brief revision of the physics of the radiation and quantum mechanics (alpha, beta and gamma radiation, X-rays generation: Photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, Rayleigh scattering, Thompson scattering, pair creation and annihilation. Radiation detectors). 2. The aim of the biomedical imaging. The difference between classical planar imaging and tomography. 3. Classical X-Rays diagnostics and Scintigraphy. 4. Basic mathematical foundations of computed tomography. Brief revision of Fourier Transform and convolution theorem. Randon Transform. The properties of radon Transform. The application of the Radon Transform in computer graphics and imaging reconstruction. The methods and algorithm of imaging reconstruction. 5. X-rays computer tomography (CT). 6. Single Photon Emission Tomography (SPECT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) 7. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). 8. Ultrasonography 9. Medical imaging techniques exploiting laser light. |

Assessment methods and assessment criteria: |
The final examination is an oral examination. People who attended the classes are allowed to take the oral exam. Attendance is mandatory, three unexcused absences are allowed. It is possible to make up for an absence by submitting a completed homework assignment agreed with the lecturer within a week. Two colloquia are held during the semester. People who passed both tests and regularly attended the lecture may be exempted from the exam. |
