Course objectives

The course acquaints students with the physical and structural principles of imaging modalities in medicine. Students will gain knowledge about the technology of various types of imaging systems, physical and mathematical principles of selected imaging methods, technical properties and design elements of medical imaging systems: conventional radiography (X-ray), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), imaging methods in dentistry (OPG, CB CT), ultrasonography (USG) and ultrasound elastography, nuclear medicine imaging systems (PET, SPECT). The second part of the course introduces the basics of robotic systems and their applications in medicine. Students will be acquainted with the basic topics with a preference for electrical engineering and computer science. The basic medical robotic platforms will be classified: assistance, diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical, including radiodiagnostics (robotic irradiation with emphasis on minimizing damage to the surrounding, non-tumor, tissue). Excursions to clinical workplaces that use robotic systems for selected surgical interventions (eg DaVinci robotic system (Olomouc University Hospital)) are expected. Students will be able to prototype an assistance robot and develop a remote-controlled robotic arm to control an ultrasound probe for further development of telemedicine applications.

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student will be able to:
- understand the technologies of conventional radiography (X-ray), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), imaging in dentistry (OPG, CB CT), ultrasonography (USG) and ultrasound elastography, nuclear medicine imaging systems (PET, SPECT),
- compare medical robotic platforms: assistance, diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical, including radiodiagnostics (robotic irradiation with emphasis on minimizing damage to the surrounding, non-tumor, tissue).
