RADT 2816 - Computed Tomography Physics and Instrumentation II Credits: 2 Hours/Week: Lecture None Lab 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. MnTC Goals None
Prerequisite(s): RADT 2012, or permission of the instructor. Corequisite(s): None Recommendation: None
