RADT 2816 - Computed Tomography Physics and Instrumentation II

Credits: 2
Hours/Week: Lecture NoneLab None
Course Description: The second physics course will explore the processing of CT images from data acquisition. The technique for post processing, archiving and assessing patient factors related to imaging quality will be reviewed. Methods of improving image quality and reducing artifact production will be presented. The benefits of spiral, helical and multi-detectors are covered in the course.
