Undergraduate Studies
Imaging and Sensing:
Total Track Hours must equal 15
Imaging and Sensing focuses on the instrumentation and methodologies of image science and bio-nano-technologies applied to the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. This track provides a foundation for those choosing to design, build, use and evaluate diagnostic systems, including advanced targeted imaging, biological microscopy and bio-photonics, integrated functional imaging, and point-of-care sensing and delivery technologies. Students can elect to receive interdisciplinary training in electronic systems, signal and image processing, radiation-tissue interactions, contrast media chemistry, lab-on-a-chip diagnostics, microfluidic devices, and specific imaging modalities including MRI, x-ray, ultrasonic, optical and nuclear imaging instruments.
