Tıbbi görüntüleme sistemlerine yönelik bilgisayar laboratuvarı deneylerinin tek bir nesne için tasarlanması, uygulanması ve değerlendirilmesi

Medical imaging systems (MIS), a crucial aspect of the electrical and electronics engineering (EEE) curriculum, encompasses a wide range of approaches, including physics, instrumentation, data gathering, image production, modeling, and quality evaluation. Although many EEE curricula include a well-structured MIS course that introduces students to all contemporary diagnostic imaging systems, MIS laboratory work is confined to image processing. In this thesis, a set of laboratory experiments has been designed in order to increase the applicability and understanding of studies related to MIS. The functioning of conventional X-ray, Computed Tomography (CT), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) modalities are simulated by utilizing the Shepp-Logan phantom. Traditional biomedical image acquisition techniques have been analyzed using the same phantom to facilitate an understanding of their differences and similarities. Through simulations for each modality, a hands-on learning strategy for imaging systems is developed. In the developed experimental procedures, multiple states can be displayed for each imaging system by using adjustable parameters during the simulation of each modality through algorithms created for each specific case. All conceivable scenarios are aimed to be simulated. The acquired outcomes offer the possibility of comparing the different modalities as well as various conditions of the imaging systems. The content consists of projection and back-projection for X-ray radiography and CT, while k-space is described processed and several reconstruction methods are analyzed for MRI.
