Since the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen in 1895 imaging systems have become an integral and indispensable part in science and medicine. By now they are an essential key technology in modern biomedicine. Continuing on the course Biomedical Imaging I, held in the winter semester 2012/2013, the main focus of this course will be on introducing the physical principles, fundamental properties and technical concepts of imaging modalities based on magnetic resonance or ultrasound waves. Applications and current developments will be presented and should serve to reinforce understanding of this field of imaging science. The course will cover those systems that were not treated in Biomedical Imaging I and can thus be attended without prior knowledge. It aims for students of physics, photonics, material science, medicine as well as interested students at the level of the fifth semester or higher. |
