After suc­cess­ful com­ple­ti­on of the mo­du­le, stu­dents have know­ledge of the most im­portant to­mo­gra­phic dia­gnostic ima­ging pro­ce­du­res (X-ray com­pu­ted to­mo­gra­phy, ma­gne­tic re­so­nan­ce ima­ging). They know the basic tech­ni­cal com­po­n­ents of the ima­ging sys­tems under con­s­i­de­ra­ti­on and can ex­plain how they work. They un­der­stand the basic phy­si­cal ef­fects (e.g. X-ray at­te­nua­ti­on, nu­cle­ar ma­gne­tic re­so­nan­ce) and can di­s­cuss them. Stu­dents un­der­stand the theo­ry of to­mo­gra­phic re­con­struc­tion (Fou­rier-Sli­ce-Theo­rem, Fou­rier-Dif­frac­tion Theo­rem) and can de­ri­ve and ex­plain the struc­tu­re and the achie­ved image qua­li­ty of the dif­fe­rent sys­tems. They are able to im­ple­ment known al­go­rith­ms for image re­con­struc­tion and in­de­pen­dent­ly de­ve­lop and eva­lua­te new al­go­rith­ms. Through the ex­er­ci­ses in small groups, part­ly on com­pu­ters, the stu­dents are able to apply what they have le­ar­ned in a small team. They are able to ex­plain their so­lu­ti­ons and to pre­sent sup­porting ar­gu­ments.
