Teaching the theoretical and practical skills in the basic fields of imaging science including MRI, PET, CT, SPECT, optical and multimodal imaging is one main focus of this highly advanced module. We also impart knowledge regarding imaging-related basic physical principles and the various applications currently used in radiology and biomedical science. Finally, we offer insight into the complex and therefore challenging (but nevertheless fascinating) and forward-looking field of pharmacokinetic modeling using imaging data.

This module contains all of the various outstanding imaging modalities used in modern radiology, nuclear medicine and preclinical imaging science with a focus on detector technology, radiation safety and high-resolution non-invasive imaging modalities such as MRI, PET, CT, SPECT and OI. Functional imaging modalities, such as PET, MRI or OI, are especially suited to visualize important processes in vivo and are therefore important tools in the evolving field of personalized medicine. Here, students receive an overview of almost all modern and state-of–the-art imaging technologies and have the opportunity to experience an intense hands-on training course on the different imaging modalities used in clinical routine and preclinical research. A large portion of the practical classes focuses on imaging technology, including particle detector physics and analog electronics for imaging applications. Digital signal processing, data handling and imaging reconstruction complement this module.
