Medicinsk avbildning med joniserande strålning

The course focuses on the physics of medical imaging with ionising radiation, covering x-ray computed tomography, single photon emission imaging and positron emission imaging. In addition to the theory of the physical processes, detectors and sources for medical imaging will be presented. Consequences of the exposure of living tissues to ionising radiation are also treated during the course. Labora- tory exercises and projekt work are also part of the learning activities offered in the course to support and demonstrate the theory and to train student's experimental capabilities.
