Bioengineering/Radiology 222: An exploration of imaging technology and its use in modern biology, including:
Basic physics of SPECT, NRI, PET, CT, Optical (bioluminescence and fluorescence) imaging;
Design and synthesis of fluorescent and radioactively labeled probes for biological imaging;
Whole body imaging in mice using high speed digital autoradiography; Cardiovascular, Neurological, and Tumor Angiogenesis imaging with MRI;
In vivo multi-modality imaging of gene expression with bioluminescence, fluorescence, and PET;
Human application of molecular imaging in diagnosis and therapy.
This course is intended for graduate students in the medical school (Cancer Biology, Biophysics, Molecular Pharmacology, Molecular & Cellular Physioloygy, Radiation Oncology, Radiology), and from Bioengineering and Engineering.
PLEASE NOTE:
The location of all classes is in Beckman Center B-200B.
