Abstract— Medical Imaging is a multidisciplinary field
which combines the knowledge of physics, mathematics,
electrical and computer engineering in order to create images
of anatomy and function of the human body for clinical and
research purposes. The necessity to know the techniques of
Medical Imaging in clinical and research laboratories has made
Medical Imaging a major training area in Biomedical
Engineering. The tremendous amount of information and rapid
changes in the medical imaging field require teaching material
to be more flexible to fit into the available class hours.
Internet/Web-based education is one of the tools with which
education is popularly delivered. Web-based interactive
teaching models increase students learning gain in the field of
medical imaging. We have developed interactive simulations
and animation of Nuclear medicine imaging. These learning
applications provide an easy understanding of the physics,
principles and methods behind nuclear medicine to successfully
deliver information for students. We simulated PET physics;
the diverse mathematical derivations for image generation,
recognition and reconstruction, and the parameters that
influence resolution in a PET camera .The metabolism rate of
glucose using [18F] fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG) with 3
compartmental models has been simulated. Animation of the
major processes and routes in PET Reporter Gene Imaging
using animal subject was also performed.
