BME 303L
Modern Diagnostic Imaging Systems (AC or GE)
Libby Kathleen Bucholz
Description from DukeHub
The underlying concepts and instrumentation of several modern medical imaging modalities. Review of applicable linear systems theory and relevant principles of physics. Modalities studied include X-ray radiography (conventional film-screen imaging and modern electronic imaging), computerized tomography (including the theory of reconstruction), ultrasound, and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging. Prerequisite: BME 244L; BME 271 or 271A or ECE 280L; junior or senior standing. Graduate students must get permission.
Skills
AI-resilient: 2 of 5
- Yes: Physical, lab or field work · "laboratory"
- No: Live work with people
- Yes: Judgment someone is accountable for · "diagnostic"
- No: A craft you practice with your hands or body
- No: Small, in-person format
The checks lean on Microsoft Research, Working with AI (2025), which found generative AI applies least to physical work and hands-on work with people. A signal, not a promise. How the score works
