Medical Imaging Science
MCQ PDF
Cou
Medical Imaging Science explores the principles, technologies, and applications that
underpin modern medical imaging methods such as X-ray, computed tomography
(CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and nuclear medicine. The course
covers the physical and technological foundations of image acquisition, image
processing, and interpretation, along with factors affecting image quality and patient
safety. Students gain insights into both the clinical and research uses of imaging,
understanding how these techniques assist in diagnosis, treatment planning, and
monitoring of diseases. Ethical considerations, emerging technologies, and the
integration of artificial intelligence in medical imaging are also introduced, providing a
comprehensive overview of this dynamic field.
