Attendance:
Students are expected to attend lectures on M and W and are encouraged to participate in discussions and work on projects on F.

Special features:
* We have a graduate and undergraduate TAs to help students with learning the material. The students are also encouraged to discuss any concerns, suggestions, remarks about the material/class/topics/projects with any of the TAs or the intructor.
* The `field trip' on Friday 09/05 to the research MRI Lab at St.Joseph hospital in downtown Phoenix.
* There will be at least 2 guest lectures by experts on Medical Imaging: Mark your calendars:

• October 1 - "Intro to MRI" presentation (by Dr. Jim Pipe)
• October 17 - "Nonuniform sampling of MRI data" (this is a special seminar 12-1pm, by Ken Johnson)
• November 5 - "Modern methods in MRI" presentation (by Dr. Jim Pipe)
• November 21 - "PET physics and image reconstruction" presentation (by Dr. Kewei Chen)

Lecture Notes: A preliminary topics are available here . Lecture Notes will be also available as we cover the material in class.

Projects:
A preliminary list of projects can be found here. Each Friday will contain the discussion of the material lectured on Monday and Wednesday and work on projects.

Evaluation: by projects
