Noninvasive Imaging in Biology and Medicine: Course Description
In the 'Noninvasive Imaging in Biology and Medicine' OpenCourseWare, graduate students can learn about the various applications and theories of noninvasive imaging techniques, such as neuroimaging that is used in the medicine and biology fields. The free graduate course discusses other scanning and imaging methods, such as CT scans, magnetic resonance imagings (MRI), PET/SPECT scans, X-rays and optical imaging models that are commonly used in scientific practices for medical and research purposes. Some of the lecture topics discussed in the course included imaging radiation, nuclear imaging detectors and cameras, MRI contrast agents and tracers for nuclear imaging. The various molecular imaging methods that are used with noninvasive imaging systems are also discussed. The free course also provides students with an opportunity to learn more about the research problems associated with noninvasive imaging technology. The MIT on-campus course was taught by Professor Alan Jasanoff in 2005 as a lecture class with two sessions per week.
This OpenCourseWare includes assignments. If you are interested in taking this free course, visit the noninvasive imaging course page.
