CTP-140 — Ct Physics and Equipment
Content is designed to impart understanding of the physical principles and instrumentation involved in computed tomography. The historical development and evolution of computed tomography is reviewed. Physics topics include x-radiation used in forming the image, bean attenuation, linear attenuation coefficients, tissue characterizes and Hounsfield numbers. Data acquisition and manipulation techniques, image reconstruction algorithms will be explained. CT systems and operations will be explored with full coverage of radiographic tube configuration, collimator design and function, detector types, characteristic and function and the CT computer and array processor. CT image processing and display will be examined. Prerequisite: CTP-130 3/0/0
