The MSc Medical Imaging programme is intended to provide a Masters-level postgraduate education in the knowledge, skills and understanding of engineering design of advanced medical and biotechnology products and systems. Students will also acquire a working knowledge of the clinical environment to influences their design philosophy.
With biotechnology replacing many of the traditional engineering disciplines within the UK, this programme allows students to develop the skills to apply their engineering or scientific knowledge to technologies that further the developments in this field. As a result, employment opportunities will be excellent for graduates, both in research and in industry.
Aims of the Programme:
- To provide a masters-level postgraduate education in the knowledge, skills and understanding of medical imaging technologies, particularly in modern biomedical, radiological and surgical imaging instrumentation, biomaterials, biomechanics and tissue engineering.
- To enhance a student's analytical and critical abilities, competence in multi-disciplinary research & development.
- To provide broad practical training in biology and biomolecular sciences sufficient for students to understand the biomedical nomenclature and to have an appreciation of the relevance and potential clinical impact of the research projects on offer.
- To allow students to experience the unique environment of clinical and surgical aspects in medical imaging in order to provide an understanding of the engineering challenges for advanced practice.
- To provide core training in electrical, microwave, magnetic, acoustic and optical techniques relevant to the life sciences interface and provide broad experience of analytical and imaging techniques relevant for biology, biomolecular and clinical sciences.
- To provide core training in acoustic ultrasound technologies.
Contents
The course is divided into two parts: Part I which can be taught in Dundee OR partner universities in China,and Part II in Dundee only.
Part IA has three core modules, and takes place in Dundee over a period of 3 months:
- Biomechanics (20 Credits)
- Biomaterials (20 Credits)
- Bioinstrumentation (20 Credits)
Part IB has three core modules, and takes place in partner universities over a period of 3 months:
- Biomechanics (20 Credits)
- Biomedical Signal Processing (20 Credits)
- Biomedical Instrumentation (20 Credits)
Part II has one taught module and a research project module. It starts at the beginning of the University of Dundee's Semester 2, which is in mid-January (please note that this course is full for January 2010):
- Taught module: Advanced Biomedical Imaging Technologies (30 Credits).
- Research project (30 Credits for diploma or 90 Credits for MSc)
The time spent in Dundee will also give students a valuable educational and cultural experience.
Methods of Teaching & Assessment:
The programme will involve a variety of teaching formats including lectures, tutorials, seminars, hands on imaging classes, laboratory exercises, case studies, coursework, and an individual research project.
The teaching programme will include visits to and seminars at IMSaT and clinical departments at Ninewells Hospital and Medical School and Tayside University Hospitals Trust, including the Clinical Research Centre, the Departments of Medicine, Surgery, Dentistry and ENT, the Vascular Laboratory and Medical Physics.
A high degree of active student participation will be encouraged throughout. Taught sessions will be supported by individual reading and study. Students will be guided to prepare their research project plan and to develop skills and competence in research including project management, critical thinking and problem-solving, project report and presentation.
The taught modules will be assessed by a combination of written examinations and coursework. The research project will be assessed by a written thesis and oral presentation.
