Description

At the end of this training, students should be able to interact with biologists/physicians in order to design/develop tools that allow them to respond to clinical or preclinical imaging issues. Students will be trained in imaging techniques from the physicist's point of view (interaction radiation/matter, signal treatment, instrumentation, basics of the main imaging technics, computing and Artificial intelligence). They will thus be able to understand all the processes leading to the formation of an image. A particular focus is placed on MRI and nuclear imaging. The skills acquired will be numerical, theoretical and experimental.

Compétences visées

•    Applying knowledge in physics;
