Medical Imaging Techniques Overview

This document provides an overview of the BME 477: Biomedical Image Acquisition course offered at Simon Fraser University in Fall 2015. The course covers the scientific principles and engineering techniques behind various medical imaging modalities, including radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear medicine imaging. Over 14 weeks, topics related to image quality, physics of each modality, imaging systems, and signal processing will be examined. The course is intended to give students an understanding of how medical images are acquired.
