aboutCourse

Medical imaging seeks to reveal internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, as well as to diagnose and treat disease. Medical imaging also establishes a database of normal anatomy and physiology to make it possible to identify abnormalities. Although imaging of removed organs and tissues can be performed for medical reasons, such procedures are usually considered part of pathology instead of medical imaging.

What you will learn?

1. What is the importance of imaging?

2. To learn about the various techniques used in different equipment

3. How did imaging connect with Human Anatomy?

4. How to find a job in the biomedical imaging field??

The Basics of Biomedical Imaging course incorporates a case study which is introduced at the start of each session. This case study will follow a hypothetical patient required to undergo various diagnostic modalities for a medical condition.

For each session, we include information relevant to that modality and the basic scientific principles of imaging

​

Sessions include​

​

1. Radiography

2. Magnetic resonance imaging

3. Nuclear medicine

4. Ultrasound

5. Elastography

6. Photoacoustic imaging

7. Tomography

8. Echocardiography

9. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy

10. Magnetic Particle Imagi

Each session will include several short quizzes which will not contribute to your final grade and will help you understand the key points.

​

To complete the course, the assessment is a marked quiz for each session that will contribute to your final grade, plus a final assessment called Assessment Scenarios at the end of the course. Assessment Scenarios involve reviewing 2 case studies/scenarios and answering questions related to  basic concepts on the biomedical field.
