Topic

Structure, function and resolution of light and electron microscopes. Generation and spectrum of X-ray, its interaction with matter. Structure of X-ray equipment, image formation, summation effect, contrast. CT, two and three dimensional image formation, resolution, limits of application. Principle of magnetic resonance imaging, interpretation of TR, TE, T1 and T2, as well as their interrelationship. Ultra sound imaging. (According to our actual possibilities there will be picture presentation from the different imaging techniques).
