Course: Biomedical Engineering (21049) > Section: Exploring Medical Imaging and Bioinstrumentation

Comparison should include

- biomedical engineering influences on imaging technologies
- the benefits of manipulating and enhancing medical images with computer technology, including making a 3D model from 2D images
- explanations of mechanisms in technologies such as
  - radiography (X-ray)
  - computerized tomography (CT) scan
  - magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  - sonography
  - positron emission tomography (PET) scan.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are current medical imaging techniques?
- What are the benefits of manipulating and enhancing medical images?
- How has the development of computer technologies affected medical imaging?
