BE 547 Fundamental Techniques of Imaging 2

Prerequisites: PhD Standing, BE 546, BE 547and approval from instructor

Corequisites: Concurrent enrollment in BE545, Concurrent or prior enrollment in MED651 (or its equivalent)

This course is a continuation of the course Fundamental Techniques of Imaging 1 (BE546).  It builds upon the fall course instruction and continues to expose students to the fundamentals of modern techniques in biological and in vivo biomedical imaging. This 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 SPECT, Micro-CT, diffuse optical spectroscopy, in vivo fluorescence imaging, and computed tomography.  The course will continue to emphasize the 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.
