CSCI 2275 Biomedical Imaging

Biomedical imaging is a rapidly evolving and interdisciplinary field that plays a crucial role in diagnosis, treatment planning, and research. In this course, students will learn the fundamental principles underlying various biomedical imaging modalities such as optical imaging, x-ray, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound. Students will develop proficiency in image acquisition, processing, and interpretation techniques, including machine learning-based image analysis. We will investigate the latest advancements in imaging technologies and their potential impact on healthcare and medical research, and also explore ethical and safety considerations in biomedical imaging. Students will gain practical hands-on experience with imaging equipment and software through lab modules, case studies, and collaborative projects.
