Ultrasound Imaging Course

Ultrasound Imaging Course

This Ultrasound Imaging course is part of a series of courses organised by the Joint Department of Physics of The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust and The Institute of Cancer Research, London.

The Use of Hydrophones in Acoustics Measurement

The Use of Hydrophones in Acoustics Measurement

This one day course aims to give basic competence in selecting and using hydrophones for making pressure measurements in the MHz frequency range.

Image Theory, Perception and Processing

Image Theory, Perception and Processing

This is a one-day course which covers the underpinning mathematics of medical imaging, comprising image formation, image processing techniques, human visual perception and image display techniques including three-dimensional methods. The material in this course is generally applicable to all types of imaging systems. Illustrations and examples from medical imaging will be used throughout including ultrasound, nuclear medicine, MRI, and x-ray CT.

Diagnostic Radiology and CT

Diagnostic Radiology and CT

This course is designed to provide in-depth academic teaching of the scientific principles underpinning x-ray and CT imaging, including descriptions of the imaging components, system testing and performance, patient dosimetry, factors affecting image quality and examples of optimisation in healthcare settings.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Spectroscopy Course

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Spectroscopy Course

This course gives an introduction to methods and applications of biomedical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy, assuming no prior knowledge of the principles of magnetic resonance. An opportunity to broaden your understanding of the capabilities and potential of MRI - guidance in radiotherapy planning and treatment verification. We invite you to join us to hear from leading practitioners in the field, develop skills and share knowledge with other professionals involved in MRI in Radiotherapy.

Radioactive Waste Advisers Training Course

Radioactive Waste Advisers Training Course

This course provides the theoretical background and training necessary for the management of unsealed and sealed radioactive substances in hospitals.

Essentials of PET-CT for Radiographers and Clinical Technologists

Essentials of PET-CT for Radiographers and Clinical Technologists

Essentials of PET-CT is a comprehensive introductory course for recently qualified Radiographers and Technologists to prepare them for their new role within a PET-CT service.

Nuclear Medicine Imaging

Nuclear Medicine Imaging

This longstanding course is designed to teach the scientific principles upon which nuclear medicine imaging is based. It gives an introduction to the underlying physics and radiochemistry principles which form the basis of nuclear medicine before delivering a set of detailed lectures covering all aspects of imaging.

Modules that form part of the PGDip Nuclear Medicine Imaging Programme

Modules that form part of the PGDip Nuclear Medicine Imaging Programme

This course will help you to develop a deep understanding of the theory of nuclear medicine imaging. Practically, it will allow you to develop skills in nuclear medicine that will allow you to practice competently and deal with complex and challenging situations.

Radiation Protection Training Course

Radiation Protection Training Course

The course provides the theoretical background and training necessary for the radiological protection requirements of both ionising and non-ionising radiations used in hospitals.

Biomedical Equipment Maintenance Practice

Biomedical Equipment Maintenance Practice

The 10 day course is ideally suited to those with some knowledge of instrumentation but lacking experience with biomedical systems. Learners will gain confidence in working with biomedical equipment by carrying out structured, practical assignments on equipment covered during the course.
