This course presents an introduction to the mathematical, physical, and computational principles underlying modern medical imaging systems. It covers fundamentals of X-ray radiography, X-ray computed tomography (CT), ultrasonic imaging, nuclear imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and functional MRI (fMRI), as well as more general concepts required for these, such as linear systems theory, the Fourier Transform, and numerical optimization. Popular techniques for the visualization, segmentation, and analysis of medical image data will also be discussed, as well as applications of medical imaging, such as image-guided intervention.
