Biophotonics&Image Processing

Catalog description

This course covers advanced topics in biophotonics, including physical optics, tissue optics, and digital image acquisition and formats. Additional topics include modern optical imaging technologies, Raman spectroscopy, super-resolution microscopy, optogenetics, photoacoustic tomography, photodynamic therapy, and live-cell imaging microscopy. The last part of the course will cover fundamentals and methods for digital image processing, featuring applications in biological and medical diagnosis. The course will also include a discussion of unintentionally generated biases in digital imaging processing and medical data analysis and discuss how to identify and overcome them. Students are required to have basic skills in MATLAB programming.
