Course objectives
The main objective of this module is to provide students with the knowledge to learn the basic principles and the preclinical and clinical applications in neuroscience of a series of imaging technologies including those using ionizing radiations (PET/SPECT/CT), non-ionizing radiation (optical techniques), and ultrasound (US and PAI).
