Efter godkänd kurs ska studenten kunna:
1. Describe and apply relevant physical processes to the detection of ionising radiation, the estimation of radiation dose and the design of imaging de- vices for x-ray Computed tomography (CT), Single Photon Emission (SPE) imaging and Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
2. Describe the rationale of detector and scanner design as well as of data acquisition protocols in CT, SPE and PET and relate those to the outcome of the imaging procedure (i. .e dose and image quality).
3. Describe, quantify and discuss common trade offs among image quality measures, dose, and various detector performances in medical imaging with ionising radiation.
