Content
This unit develops the essential understanding of the technical and physical principles that underpin practices of medical image capture, processing, display and archival storage. It embraces computer applications in medical radiation science and diagnostic systems including digital imaging, image processing and information database practises. The role of the human observer in the image processing chain is considered in the context of digital image processing, computer interfaces, medical image formats, the Dicom standard, image compression and the hospital Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). These concepts are applied to advanced imaging modalities and their underlying physical principles of operation, including Digital Subtraction Angiography, Mammography, Ultrasound, Computer Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
