Assessment 1: Written Assignment

Taught material will contribute an element every week to the SAIL programme (Score As I Learn) submitted via the VLE platform. 11 x 15 minutes weekly assignments (quizzes). Each assignment (quiz) will be worth 3%. Taking the best 8 out of 11 scores.

Written Assignment

Assessment 2: Written Assignment

Laboratory.A written assignment which will include detailed analysis of the results from a laboratory test when using imaging scanners. The report will include description of the modality, data processing, results and discussion and conclusion.

<p>The module teaches a whole set of topics related the medical imaging including physical and mathematical principles, instrumentation, signal processing, data acquisition, data storage and data representation. The module will cover X-ray, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance (MR), Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and ultrasound. You will gain an understanding on the whole process of probing signal interaction with a biological tissue and you will cover the theory and practice of medical imaging, to gain a broad understanding of the whole subject from the signal acquisition to production of data suitable for interpretation by medical professional. You will have first-hand and laboratory based experiences on signal acquisition in medical imaging system engineering, device embodiment, data acquisition and image reconstruction. Imaging safety, ethical and legal frameworks will be introduced and discussed.</p>
