EEEN30210 Biomedical Imaging

Academic Year 2017/2018

The module aims to equip students with a broad appreciation of the underlying physics, mathematics and technologies underpinning microscopy, radiography and medical image processing. Students will learn about imaging theory. They will be introduced to the core imaging modalities in use today.

This is an elective module intended primarily for biomedical engineering students. While other students are welcome, it will be assumed that the student is familiar with Fourier transforms and MATLAB.
