BMME 550 Medical Imaging: Ult Opt MR Caterina Gallippi
View the website.

MEDICAL IMAGING: ULTRASONIC, OPTICAL, AND MAGNETIC RESONANCE SYSTEMS (3). Prerequisites: PHYS 128, BMME 410, BMME 430, BIOS 550. This course presents a preliminary investigation into the physical and mathematical foundations of ultrasonic, optical, and magnetic resonance imaging systems in application to medical diagnostics. The imaging modalities will be examined on a case-by-case basis, highlighting the following critical system characteristics: 1) underlying physics of the imaging system, including the physical mechanisms of data generation and acquisition; 2) image creation, and 3) basic processing methods of high relevance, such as noise reduction. This course is designed to support more in depth investigations into ultrasonic, optical, and magnetic resonance imaging modalities. Fall (Odd years). Gallippi
