General Course Description

Goals of the course
• to learn the fundamentals of each imaging modality including X-ray, Ultrasound, CT, and MRI.
• to learn normal human anatomy and how it appears on medical images
• to learn the relative strengths of the modalities and
• to answer, “What am I looking at?"

The course is open to Engineering students, Medical students, and H&S students.
Prerequisites are introductory college physics, biology, and calculus.

We typically have six homework sets and two exams. We will pass out many quicktime and avi movies. You can view these with Quicktime Player which is available for the mac and the pc from the Apple website.

The text book we will use is "Imaging Atlas of Human Anatomy" by Jamie Weir. A recommended text is "The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging" by J. Bushberg. It is at the right level for the course, but has much more information than covered in this course. It is an outstanding reference.
