Medical Image Generation of Anatomical Structures and Functions
Description
This module assesses commonly used medical diagnostic equipment and its application in providing in vivo clinical data for diagnosing various disease types, assisting in surgical procedures and device design. Also this module provides practical experience in generating three-dimensional anatomical virtual models from medical images and determining various geometrical, physiological and tissue characteristics.
Learning Outcomes
Explain the working principals of commonly used medical diagnostic equipment and the factors which affect medical image quality and it's affects on diagnostics.
Identify the ethical and environmental sustainability considerations associated with the acquisition of medical data
Distinguish between various anatomical structures based on medical image datasets.
Generate three-dimensional anatomical virtual and physical models from medical image datasets using image segmentation software and rapid prototyping
Analyse tissue structure, function and blood flow patterns using X-Rays and Ultrasound within phantom models.
