The aim of this module is to present to the students the basic physical principals of: (a) Conventional planar X-Ray Imaging; (b) Digital X-Ray Imaging and Computed Tomography.
After completing the course, the student should be able to:
• Produce conventional planar imaging topics include radiography and fluoroscopic imaging: production of X-rays, X-ray interaction with the patient
• Produce images using film-screen systems or image intensifiers, and processing of x-ray films.
• Produce images using Digital X-ray imaging and Computed Tomography
• Address image quality issues
• discuss recent advances in hardware and applications: multi-slice detectors, cone beam technology, etc.
• Use axial, helical multi-slice, and cone-beam CT for diagnosis.
