This activity is offered both live and in person.
This course deals with essential physics and technological aspects of Computed Tomography (CT). First the physical principles are described followed by a description of data acquisition concepts and the fundamentals of image reconstruction. In addition, the major components of a CT scanner will be outlined and image manipulation of the CT image will be described.
Secondly, the technical principles of multi-slice CT (MSCT) systems including evolution of MSCT systems, physical principles and equipment will be explained. Furthermore, image post-processing, image quality, and dose optimization will be described.
