一、課程說明(Course Desc<x>ription)
<br>This course introduces the essential physics in medical imaging, including image 
<br>quality, medical imaging informatics, diagnostic radiography, and nuclear 
<br>medicine. Medical imaging provides the anatomic and functional information from 
<br>human body. It helps radiologists to make diagnosis. Over the past decade, 
<br>considerable changes have occurred in medical imaging, such as images from analog 
<br>(screen/film) to digital, a number of new technologies from research projects to 
<br>enter clinical use. This course also introduces the latest technologies in medical 
<br>imaging, which offers the possibility of substantially reducing radiation dose 
<br>under keeping acceptable image quality.
