Fundamentals of Biomedical Optics

3 Hours

Introduction to the field of biophotonics. Subjects include light scattering theory, tissue optical properties, analytical and numerical techniques for determining light propagation in tissue, light-tissue interactions, and bioheat transfer including solution methods. Biomedical Engineering 347 and 377T (Topic: Fundamentals of Biomedical Engineering Optical Imaging) may not both be counted. Three lecture hours a week for one semester.
