Title: Compare the mechanisms of medical imaging technologies.
Course: Biomedical Engineering (21049) > Section: Exploring Medical Devices and Imaging

Comparison should include

•    biomedical engineering influences on imaging technologies
•    the benefits of manipulating and enhancing medical images with computer technology, including making a three-dimensional (3D) model from two dimensional (2D) images
•    explanations of mechanisms in technologies such as

o    radiography (X-ray)
o    computerized tomography (CT) scan
o    magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
o    sonography
o    positron emission tomography (PET) scan.

Process/Skill Questions:

•    What are current medical imaging techniques?
