Lecture 2 Overview & comparison of different imaging modalities Advanced Biomedical Imaging Dr. Azza Helal A. Prof. of Medical PhysicsFaculty of MedicineAlexandria University
Comparison of different imaging modalities • Projection views • Ionizing radiation • Speed • Contrast resolution
Projection views • Limited visualization Plain x ray & Isotope scan • Flexible imaging planes Cross-section views CT & MRI
Ionizing radiation • Plain x - ray, CT & isotope scan
3. Speed US Fast Plain x ray CT MRI Isotope scan Slow
Contrast resolution Plain x ray & CT reflect bone contrast MRI reflects soft tissue contrast
Assignments One student will be selected for assignment
Suggested Readings David Sutton’s Radiology Physics for medical imaging by RF Fare & PJ Allisy-Roberts.
Questions Mention the advantages of MRI over CT? Enumerate the imaging modalities that use ionising radiation?
