Topics include the principles of nuclear magnetic resonance as applied to imaging, image processing, imaging techniques for achieving specific types of contrast, image artifacts, and typical applications. Individual sections dealing with such topics as computed tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance, therapeutic radiation. Any BME course or consent of Department. Series of seminars exposing graduate students to the various areas of research and providing a forum for progress reports in individual areas. Seminars by research workers from inside and outside the University are included.
Seminars are informal with ample opportunity for discussion.
