L'insegnamento costituisce una introduzione alle tecniche di acquisizione di immagini in campo biomedico, partendo dai concetti di base fino ad illustrare alcune applicazioni avanzate in ambito clinico. Gli argomenti trattati riguardano le immagini a raggi X (radiografia analogica e digitale e tomografia computerizzata), la Risonanza Magnetica Nucleare (con applicazioni di imaging e spettroscopia), la tomografia a emissione di positrone (PET). Vengono inoltre illustrati i principi di imaging ottico (fluorescenza e bioluminescenza), di imaging a luce Cherenkov (CLI) e di imaging a ultrasuoni e fotoacustico.
The course will introduce to imaging techniques in the bio-medical field, from the basic concepts to the description of some advanced clinical applications. The topics will cover X-ray images (analogic and digital radiography), computed tomography (CT), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (with imaging and spectroscopy applications), positron emission tomography (PET). The principles of optical imaging (fluorescence and bioluminescence), Cherenkov light imaging (CLI) and ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging will be also discussed.
