| learning outcome | Students are familiar with the subject, aim and methods of imaging systems, including their position and relationships in biomedical engineering. They understand the concept, causes and effects of local dynamics. They adapt known methods for describing time-dynamic systems for multidimensional, location-dependent signals. Students can successfully apply these methods to analyze medical imaging systems across all stages, including the eye as receiver, and are able to critically evaluate the possibilities and limitations of the image signal transmission process. Students are able to apply these description methods using the example of two imaging systems presented (magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound systems). They know the clinical benefits of the imaging systems including their task relevance, limitations and risks and can apply the various methodological approaches in their experimental work. Through the associated practical experiments, students are able to work independently with an experimental computer tomograph and with a modern ultrasound B-scan system and to evaluate the transmission behavior experimentally. They are be able to recognize the relationships between the physical interaction effects used and technical components as well as image errors and the limits of achievable image quality. They show interest in experimental work and know and observe the radiation protection regulations and other safety regulations. Students are familiar with the complex requirements of imaging systems in medicine. They are able to take part in subject-specific discussions and answer questions addressed to them on the basis of their acquired knowledge. Students learn to accept criticism of their opinion and to allow other opinions. | |
