KurzbeschreibungThe course gives an overview of the physics and practical principles of imaging techniques using ionizing radiation such as X-rays, gamma photons, and neutrons in the context of various industrial (non-medical) challenges. This includes the interaction of radiation with matter, parameters affecting imaging performance, source and detector technology, image processing, and tomographic techniques.
LernzielUnderstanding of the principles and applicability of various radiation-based imaging techniques including radiography and tomography to various industrial challenges.
Inhaltprinciples of radiation imaging; physics of interaction of radiation with matter (X-ray, gamma, neutron); X-ray source physics and technology; neutron source physics and technology; radiation detection principles; radiation detection as applied to imaging; radiography (image quality parameters, image processing); computed tomography (image reconstruction techniques, artifacts, image processing); overview of more exotic techniques (e.g. dual modality, fast neutrons, time of flight); general industrial applications, security applications; special issues in dynamic imaging and example applications; PET/PEPT imaging; nuclear energy applications
