The Medical Imaging track involves the application of medical imaging principles for visualization of a variety of biological systems, such as the brain and the heart, to study basic biological and clinical problems. Medical imaging systems consist of a variety of macroscopic and microscopic technologies such as CT (computer-assisted tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and high-resolution microscopes.
Students in this track will gain knowledge and research experience in the laboratory and clinical aspects of medical imaging through contact with basic scientists and clinicians.
Students have opportunities to apply and extend their knowledge on signal processing, imaging processing, data analysis techniques and computational algorithms in practical medical imaging situations. In addition, opportunities exist to initiate or participate in the design of new technology developments for medical imaging modalities.
5345A Bioinstrumentation II - light and spectrophotometry, chemical transducers, ventilators, anesthesia equipment, defibrillators, fundamentals of medical imaging, lasers, electrosurgical devices, measurement of pulmonary function and cardiac pacemakers.
5351A Digital Control of Biomedical Systems - design and control strategies for microprocessor-based medical equipment, discrete and sampled data systems, Z transform, digital control design methods, stability considerations, and closed-loop system response.
5363 Digital Processing of Medical Images - instrumentation and techniques for creation of digital medical images (radiographs, scintigrams, ultrasound scans, magnetic resonance scans, and tomographic reconstructions) and their restoration, enhancement, and compression are treated in this course. Other topics of interest including segmentation, representation, and description may be discussed.
