MEDPH 468 - Physics of Diagnostic Radiology

3 units (fi 6)(SECOND, 3-0-0)

Rigorous development of the physics of x-ray production, interaction and detection in diagnostic radiology, including mammography and ultrasound. In-depth analysis of analog and digital systems in radiography and fluoroscopy is given. The description and design of computed tomographic systems as well as the associated reconstruction algorithms from single to multislice helical systems are studied. Restricted to undergraduate students in the Honors Physics degree. Credit can be obtained in at most one of MEDPH 486 and ONCOL 568. Prerequisites: MEDPH 450, MEDPH 462, and consent of department.
