1-0-1 units · Graduate

Reviews fundamental principles and techniques underlying modern biomedical imaging, as well as their application in modern medicine. Builds upon concepts introduced in HST.164 with an emphasis on magnetic resonance, extending laboratory work to include portable MRI experiments. Also covers applications of ultrasound, computed tomography, positron emission tomography and optical techniques. Didactic lectures are paired with problem sets and laboratory sessions, focusing on the quantitative aspects of biomedical imaging. Focuses on the quantitative aspects of biomedical imaging and requires a knowledge of differential equations, and intermediate-level physics. Only HST students may register under HST.166 , P/D/F. Restricted to HST students.
