Biomedical Imaging focuses on developing technology and applications for life science research and advanced medical imaging systems. This thrust area includes the fundamentals of biomedical imaging instrumentation and systems analysis. We learn to analyze imaging systems with quantitative assessments of resolution, contrast, and noise. <br><br>Specific technologies include optical microscopy, SPECT, PET, Scintigraphy, X-ray, ultrasound, CT, and MRI for both medical and life science research applications. Emerging biomedical trends, including targeted radiotherapy, smart contrast agents, and targeted molecular and cellular imaging are also introduced. This concentration area is designed to prepare students for the thriving biomedical imaging industry, medical school, or graduate studies in diverse areas of biomedical research.
