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.

· Basic nuclear physics and detection principles (only refresh)
Efter godkänd kurs ska studenten kunna:
1. Describe and apply relevant physical processes to the detection of ionising radiation, the estimation of radiation dose and the design of imaging de- vices for x-ray Computed tomography (CT), Single Photon Emission (SPE) imaging and Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
2. Describe the rationale of detector and scanner design as well as of data acquisition protocols in CT, SPE and PET and relate those to the outcome of the imaging procedure (i. .e dose and image quality).
3. Describe, quantify and discuss common trade offs among image quality measures, dose, and various detector performances in medical imaging with ionising radiation.
Avklarat examensarbete 15hp, 15hp matematik, 15hp fysik, 6hp programmering och 5hp ellära/elektronik. Engelska 6/B.
När kurs inte längre ges har student möjlighet att examineras under ytterligare två läsår.
Examinator beslutar, baserat på rekommendation från KTH:s handläggare av stöd till studenter med funktionsnedsättning, om eventuell anpassad examination för studenter med dokumenterad, varaktig funktionsnedsättning.
Examinator får medge annan examinationsform vid omexamination av enstaka studenter.
