ENGN3820 — Biomedical Imaging

code: ENGN3820
name: Biomedical Imaging
unit value: 6
description: This course covers the physical concepts behind bio-signal transduction that lead to the acquisition of signals from a biological system. It will also provide a framework towards the understanding and interpretation of these signals into multi-dimensional data for imaging and analysis. The images or signal are then used for understanding biological systems and also diagnostics purposes. Key concept behind these techniques such as MRI, ultrasound, biophotonics, microscopy, EEG, and medical imaging processing will be taught in this course. There will be examples of qualitative performance in the context of molecular and clinical settings.

course learning outcomes:
  1. Describe the operation and function of different biomedical imaging instruments to measure signals from biological systems
  2. Explain the fundamental principles of advanced imaging concepts in fluorescence and nanoscale imaging to study molecular dynamics in living cells.
  3. Identify the limitations of different imaging modalities and also how they complement each other; select appropriate imaging tools for particular applications.
  4. Analyse and compare imaging systems for different biological levels: organs, tissues, cells, and molecules, justifying the pros and cons of each technique.
  5. Critique the design factors that contribute to construction of advanced bioimaging systems with numerical calculations and physical concepts.
  6. Assess and quantify the performance of each of the imaging modalities using basic numerical methods to measure biological systems of different size scales from nanometers to millimeters.
