Aims and Objectives
This module covers imaging using ionising radiation and provides the
basic
theory behind the imaging techniques. It also includes a breakdown of
the
components of each imaging system, and describes the clinical
applications of
each method. The associated topics of image processing and assessment
are also
covered since the principles involved find wide application throughout
this
technology.
