Non-invasive detectors for medical diagnosis assistance (5 ECTS)

Presentation

Description:
TU Non-invasive detectors for medical diagnosis" aims to present the physical concepts, sensors, and their applications in medicine for three major fields: infrared, MRI, and ultrasound.

Objectives:

  • Acquire the necessary scientific knowledge in the field of IR, acoustic, and high-energy detectors to understand the operating principles of the main radiographic equipment used in the medical field.
  • Distinguish between different technologies in the field of radiography and be able to choose a type of investigation for a given medical diagnostic problem.
