医学影像科学

Our MSc in Medical Imaging Science covers a multidisciplinary
topic of central importance in diagnosis, treatment monitoring and
patient management.Imaging is also a key tool in medical research and it is becoming
increasingly possible to relate imaging studies to genetic traits in
individuals and populations. Novel imaging biomarkers of disease can
enable more rapid and precise diagnosis and inform decision making in
drug development programmes.As medical imaging involves knowledge of anatomy, physiology,
pathology, pharmacology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, technology and
computation, our course is suitable if you want to expand your horizons
in these disciplines.You will cover the basic science and technology behind the
principal imaging modalities currently used in medicine and medical
research, as well as advanced imaging methods, clinical and research
applications, imaging biomarkers and computational methods.You will learn how advanced imaging techniques are applied in
medical research and drug development with an emphasis on magnetic
resonance (MR) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. You will
also receive training in computational and quantitative methods of image
analysis or in the interpretation of clinical images from different
imaging modalities.This course comprises both a taught component and a research
project, giving you the skills and knowledge required to pursue a career
in an image-related field in clinical medicine, medical research, and
scientific research or development.
