PHY335 Emission Tomography (8)
AbstractThis subject deals with the physics and instrumentation of Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and Positron Emission Computed Tomography (PET). The SPECT module covers SPECT instrumentation, quality controls, data acquisition and processing, SPECT image reconstruction techniques, quantitative SPECT, and multi-modality image correlation and fusion. The PET module covers PET physics and instrumentation, quality controls, PET methodology and tracer kinetic modelling, Positron Coincident Detection (PCD) and hybrid technology. |
