Course detail
FEKT-MPA-ZSZAcad. year: 2024/2025
The content of this course is the study of imaging systems that do not work with ionizing radiation. The course curriculum covers systems using the principle of magnetic resonance. Specifically, basic experiments in this area, basic and extended pulse sequences, principles of positional information encoding, and hardware requirements for imaging are discussed. Advanced methods such as the principles of contrast agents, functional and diffusion imaging are also discussed. The second part of the course discusses the principles of using ultrasound waves for imaging. The various imaging modalities used in clinical imaging are discussed - A-scan, B-scan, Doppler techniques, and the use of contrast agents. In the last part of the course, thermal relief imaging using thermal imaging cameras is discussed. The principles of microbolemtric detectors, the use of 2D detectors and the representation of the resulting information are explained. Other techniques in the visible part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum are described at the end of the semester. Furthermore, the parameters of the imaging process as such and the quality assessment of imaging systems are discussed.

Aims
The aim of this course is to extend the knowledge from the Bachelor's degree in Medical Physics and Imaging Systems. This course focuses on the use of non-ionizing radiation in medical imaging. The first part of the course discusses the fundamentals of the magnetic resonance phenomenon and its application to medical imaging. The second half of the course discusses the principles of ultrasound waves for medical imaging, the principles of thermal cameras, and other techniques in the visible part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum.
