This
PowerPoint presentation gives an introduction to imaging techniques. It is not
designed to be a comprehensive collection of images of the entire body –
rather, preliminary to study in the lab.
It is
aimed primarily at students of Anatomy & Human Biology to help them
understand and interpret images of normal the human body. Medical or dental
students will find the basic principles useful, but as a radiological resource
it is not adequate. The emphasis is on conventional radiographic images with
introductory remarks on CT, MRI and other modern techniques.
Remember
that in dealing with this topic some theoretical considerations have been
simplified. The aim here is not technical expertise. This is especially true
of the concepts in Physics. Biomedical engineering students will naturally
find the physical aspects somewhat elementary! Interested students may
communicate with me for further elaboration if necessary.
This
PowerPoint uses large text passages and the font size used makes it easier to
read off the screen. It is not appropriate for projection.
