Concentration in Biomedical Imaging and Radiation Physics
Courses in the Biomedical Imaging and Radiation Physics concentration cover the physics of medical and biological imaging modalities, the use and effects of radiation in imaging and therapy, methodologies for image acquisition and processing, development of computer-based imaging theory and analysis methods, and the development and use of contrast media and molecular imaging agents. To satisfy the requirements for this concentration, students must select 4 of the courses listed below. The intent is to provide students with a more focused education in Biomedical Imaging and Radiation Physics or a sub-topic within this diverse field.
Course Requirements
