This module is not approved as an Elective
Objectives
On completion of this module, students should be able to:- Demonstrate basic knowledge and understanding of biophysics.
- Demonstrate in-depth knowledge of the theoretical principles behind imaging systems.
- Demonstrate in-depth knowledge of the basic principles of the practical application of various imaging techniques.
Syllabus
This course provides a comprehensive overview of the practical and theoretical techniques for imaging biological systems, from tissues to cells, through to medical imaging. The underlying physical principals behind each imaging approach are addressed. Accordingly, the course starts with an introduction to biophysics and then centres on the key theories of imaging. It includes consideration of a number of applications including optical, fluorescence and multi-photon microscopy, spectroscopy, OCT, MRI, X-ray CT, PET and SPECT imaging.
