Physics of Medical Imaging Course
This course consists of five modules:
Module 1 (01.11.10 - 03.11.10) (Sutton Site) Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy Please note that this course is organised separately and more information can be found by visiting the Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy course page. |
Module 2 (23.11.10 (Sutton Site) and repeated 18.01.2011 at the Chelsea Site) (1 Day) Image Theory, perception and processing |
Module 3 (24.11.10 - 26.11.10) Ultrasound Imaging (Sutton site) |
Module 4 (19.01.11 – 21.01.11) Diagnostic Radiology and CT (Chelsea site) |
Module 5 (14.02.10 – 17.02.10) Nuclear Medicine (Sutton site) |
Course Description
The course provides the necessary physics background that underpins day-to-day medical imaging physics activities. It is aimed primarily at new entrants to the profession, but should be of benefit to post-graduate students, post-doctoral research workers, physicist-managers, representatives of allied commercial organisations and anyone wishing to deepen or re-establish their understanding of the physics of medical imaging.
The faculty is composed mainly of physicists, many of whom are internationally renowned for their expertise. A selection of key talks delivered by clinicians and other scientists provides the necessary broader scientific and clinical perspective. Overviews of specialised or research related topics, such as Positron Emission Tomography and MR spectroscopy are given. There are many opportunities for informal discussions and there will be visits to the Department of Nuclear Medicine, Ultrasound and X-ray Computed Tomography and the MR Unit of The Royal Marsden NHS Trust.
The course is given in four separate 3-day modules. Each module is repeated annually. Registration will be accepted here for any combination of modules 2-5.
Module 1 - The Magnetic Resonance Imaging & Spectroscopy module, is offered as a standalone training course, run in conjunction with IPEM, and for which CPD credits are available. Rates for courses differ for IPEM members for this module.
