Fundamental Techniques of Imaging

Catalog description

This laboratory course covers the fundamentals of modern medical imaging techniques. Students will participate in a series of hands-on exercises, covering the principals of X-ray imaging, CT imaging, photoacoustic imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, localized magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy, MR contrast agents, diffuse optical spectroscopy, and bioluminescence imaging. Each lab is designed to reinforce and expand upon material taught in BE 4830 / BE 5830 Molecular Imaging and MMP 5070 Physics of Medical Imaging. Graduate students or permission of the instructor.
