Course objectives
The course includes description of physical and technical fundamentals of CT, MRI, US and X-ray metods including basic physical derivations in this field. The student should understand the basic principles of the examination methods as introduced above. This course is a starting point to aquire necessary knowledge of technical principles of above methods, their indications and risks.
Learning outcomes
After finishing this course the student is able to derive some physical equations necessary for physical and technical fundamentals of CT, MRI, US a X-ray metods. He/she can imagine basic structure of matter. The student should know the basic principles of examination and should be able to exploit better the information from CT, MRI a US and X-ray images. The course gives deeper understanding of technical principles of individual methods, their indications and risks.
Syllabus
  • An overview of physical background of radiology. Introduction to physics of nucleus, elelectron shell and some aspects of thermodynamics. Structure of matter. Atoms and their quantum properties. Elements of Theory of relativity. Laws of conservation, SI system, units in radiology. Radioactivity. X-rays and gamma rays (origin and interactions). Nuclear magnetic resonance. Image formation in MRI and CT. Image information and its analysis. Physical principles of ultrasound diagnostics. Ultrasound wave properties.
