The inverse problem between detected signal and image source will be discussed for biomedical applications. The concepts of image resolution, image contrast, SNR, and scan time will be illustrated quantitatively from an engineering point of view.

When Offered Fall.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: functional knowledge and skills of linear algebra, calculus, Fourier transformation, and calculus-based physics.
