FAET337008: Introduction to Biomedical Imaging
Biomedical imaging is a rapidly developing field of research and an important part of biomedical engineering. This course will introduce imaging techniques of different modalities that span multiple physical scales, including X-rays, CT, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, ultrasound imaging, optical coherence tomography, photoacoustic microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, coherence Raman scattering, super-resolution microscope, scanning probe microscope, cryo-electron microscope, etc. The course will cover the basic scientific principles behind each technology and the latest research progress, as well as their application in biomedical and clinical studies.
Since imaging technology is the basis of many scientific researches, this course, while being an entry-level course for graduate students in biomedical engineering, also welcomes undergraduates from different disciplines to expand their horizons as an elective course. This course will help students understand the relevant concepts and theories of imaging technology, and help students make better use of imaging tools in their future research to meet new challenges and discover new opportunities.
