Course detail
FEKT-MPA-ZIZAcad. year: 2023/2024
This course is focused to using of ionizing radiation in medical imaging. First part of the course is dedicated to basics of atomic physics which are necessary for understanding of physical principles of X-ray and gamma rays. In the next part we focus to projection X-ray systems in different applications (projection skiagraphy, fluoroscopy, mammography, bone densitometry and dental X-rays). All construction aspects of X-rays systems are discussed - X-ray tube, principles of detection (film material, computing radiography, flat panels). The course continues with using of X-ray in computed tomography (CT) - definition of Radon's transform as basic concept of image reconstruction, constructional aspects of CT systems. Third part of this course is focused to medical imaging in nuclear medicine - planar scintigraphy, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET). The last part deals with hybrid imaging systems which combines two imaging modalities into single system. Image quality and achievable parameters are discussed for all imaging systems.

Aims
The aim of this course is to extend the knowledge from Bachelor's degree in medical physics and medical imaging systems. This course is focused to using of ionizing radiation in medical imaging - step by step we discuss X-ray projection systems, computed tomography systems (CT) and imaging in nuclear medicine.
