Fundamentals of Biomedical Optical Imaging
Fundamentals of the interaction of light with tissue for the purpose of imaging and treatment of disease. Focuses on quantitative modeling of tissue optical properties, light propagation in the tissue, heat transfer of laser irradiated tissue, and thermal damage models. Includes discussion of applications in laser surgery, pulse oximetry, and disease diagnosis using spectroscopy. Biomedical Engineering 381J (Topic: Fundamentals of Biomedical Optical Imaging) and 381J (Topic 9) may not both be counted.
