3 ECTS credits
90 u studietijd
Aanbieding 1 met studiegidsnummer 4016270FNR voor alle studenten in het 1e semester met een gespecialiseerd master niveau.
Position of the course
The student will get knowledge and insight into the physical principles in medical
imaging. Special attention is given to quality assurance and performance
measurements of the various imaging techniques and dose calibrators.
Thereby this course is an addition to the courses of biomedical signals and images and
medical physics where the instrumentation and the effects of ionizing radiation are
respectively discussed.
The purpose is to prepare the student for a responsible function in biomedical imaging.
In this way the student can make well-considered judegements about the state of
biomedical imaging equipment. The student can also critically evaluate new
instrumentation trends.
