Techniques used to generate ionizing radiation useful in the imaging of solids and medical imaging will be studied. The theory and applications of biological and medical imaging modalities that use ionizing radiation will be covered. This includes x-ray diagnostic methods such as plain film, and digital, computer axial tomography (CAT) and radionuclide imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and gamma cameras. It will also cover the theory and applications of materials imaging. These include x-ray, electron, and neutron diffraction, in addition to small angle neutron and x-ray scattering (SANS, and SAXS).
