Since the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen in 1895, imaging systems have become indispensable in science and medicine. They represent a key technology in modern biomedicine. Following on from the course Biomedical Imaging - Ionizing Radiation of last winter semester, the focus of this course Biomedical Imaging - Non-Ionizing Radiation is to introduce the physical principles, basic properties and technical concepts of imaging techniques based on magnetic resonance and ultrasound, among others. Applications and recent developments are presented to deepen the understanding of this area of imaging science. The course covers imaging systems not covered in the course Biomedical Imaging - Ionizing Radiation and therefore can be taken without prior knowledge. It is intended for students of physics, photonics, medical photonics, materials science, and medicine, as well as interested students in the fifth semester and above. |
