The main objective of the 'Ionising radiation-based imaging' course is to give you a bachelor-level introduction to the application of ionizing radiations in biomedical imaging. The course surveys both major forms of ionizing radiation used in imaging: (1) electromagnetic waves used primarily in X ray and CT and (2) particle-based radiation used in nuclear medicine instruments such as gamma cameras, SPECT and PET. The course covers the physical and biological foundations, engineering solution, diagnostic and research applications of various imaging techniques, based on radiation. The course will cover the most common techniques in this field, including X-ray, CT, SPECT and PET, as well as hybrid imaging modalities. The theoretical bases of the study material will be given via lectures, tutorials and e-learning, whereas ample hands-on experience will also be provided for the various modalities.
