“Basic Principles of Image formation and
related instrumentation in Medical Imaging”
September 28th, 2016 - h. 10.00
Prof. Nektarios Kalyvas
Abstract
The lecture will report the main aspects of image formation and related instrumentation in medical imaging.
In particular the concept of contrast, resolution, noise pixel and bit depth will be presented. The differences
between the various medical imaging modalities for both ionizing (projection X-ray imaging, computed
tomography, Single Photon Emission Tomography, Positron Emission Tomography) and non-ionizing
(magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound) radiation will be analysed and the benefits of each technique will
be denoted. Concluding the usability and application of nanotechnology in enhancing image quality
parameters, via contrast agents, in each modality will be underlined.
The lecture will take place at 10.00 – Room F – Cà Vignal – Strada Le Grazie, 15
