Mathematical Methods in Medical Physics (MPHY0017)

The component provides an essential grounding in mathematical methods for all students enrolled in the Intercalated B.Sc. in Medical Physics & Bioengineering and also the IBSc in Mathematics and Computing in Medicine. A significant proportion of the course covers material that in previous years was covered in group tutorials, which proved to be a very important element of the intercalated programme. The component will provide students with sufficient knowledge in mathematics in order that they are at no significant disadvantage compared to 3rd and 4th year physics and electrical engineering students who also take the other courses which form the intercalated degree.

Medical Imaging with Ionising Radiation (MPHY0016)

The aim is for students to understand the theoretical background, mode of operation and practical application of systems designed to image either anatomy or physiological function using ionising radiation. It will also introduce the student to the methods by which images can be processed and assessed, and to the basic principles of quality control. Topics include interactions of radiation with matter especially with reference to biological tissue, radiation sources, radiation detectors including current state of the art and future perspectives, interactions between components of an imaging system and their effect on image quality and system performance, image analysis and assessment, quality control.
