CT268 — Computed Tomography Physics
CT 268 - Computed Tomography Physics CT 268 - Computed Tomography Physics 3 Credit Hours Lecture Hrs. 3 This course provides a thorough understanding of the physical principles involved in computed tomography, as well as instrumentation. The historical development and evolution of computed tomography will be reviewed. Physics topics covered include the characteristics of x-radiation, CT beam attenuation, linear attenuation coefficients, tissue characteristics, and the Hounsfield number system. Computed Tomography systems and operations will be explored with full coverage of radiographic tube configuration, collimator design and function, detector type, characteristics and functions of the CT computer and array processor.
