Learning Outcomes
The student can describe the principle of an X-ray tube and the processing of the X-ray beam. He/she can analyze the energy spectrum of the beam. The student understands the different interaction mechanisms of the beam in the tissue and in the detector materials. He/she can explain the special requirements of different X-ray imaging modes.The student can demonstrate the different reconstruction algorithms of computed tomography. He/she can in principle test the image quality of an X.ray imaging device.
