BE 546 Fundamental Techniques of Imaging 1

This course covers the fundamentals of modern techniques in biological and in vivo biomedical imaging. This practical course consists of a series of hands-on lab exercises, covering major imaging modalities, but also extends to non-radiology modalities of interest in biological, pathological or animal imaging (e.g., optical imaging).  Topics include x-ray, mammography, MRS, MRI, PET, and ultrasound. The emphasis will be on hands-on aspects of all areas of imaging and imaging analysis.  Small groups of students will be led by a faculty member with technical assistance as appropriate.
