MRS513 Digital Imaging Technology (8)
CSU Discipline Area: Medical Radiation Science (MEDRA)
Duration: One session
Abstract:
This subject covers the advanced concepts and applications of digital technology in imaging applications in the field of Medical Radiation Science (MRS). It extensively considers digital imaging instrumentation, processing, analysis, review, distribution and associated developments in MRS.
It also covers digital technology aspects in specialised fields within MRS such as in mammography, CR / DR, CT, MRI and NM.

Continuing students should consult the SAL for current offering details: MRS513
Where differences exist between the Handbook and the SAL, the SAL should be taken as containing the correct subject offering details.
Objectives:
Upon successful completion of this subject, students should:
- be able to demonstrate an understanding of the advanced concepts and applications of digital technology in imaging applications in MRS,
- be able to demonstrate an understanding of digital image processing (DIP) methods such as: spatial domain processing, frequency domain processing, other image transforms, 3D image processes, co-registration, image segmentation, feature extraction,
- be able to demonstrate an understanding of which DIP processes are used in relevant specialised fields within MRS,
- be able to demonstrate an understanding of image management,
- be able to demonstrate an understanding of image display devices,
- be able to review and synthesise appropriate literature and relate medical radiations interdisciplinary learning to the broader healthcare sector,
- be able to demonstrate how to apply national and international research findings to the clinical setting.
