Course Descriptions
Course descriptions are provided here for only those courses with a temporary course number such as BME 6086-XX. Undergraduate and Graduate course descriptions are provided at the BME website under either the BS Degree Program Description or the Graduate Program Handbook.
BME 5210 Biomedical Optics: Tissue Optics, Instruments and Imaging
3 credits. Lecture. Prerequisites: PHYS 1502Q and ECE 3101
Principles and imaging of biomedical optics. Optical absorption, scattering and their biological origins, radiative transfer equation and diffusion theory, diffuse optical tomography, Monte Carlo modeling and photon transport in biological tissue, ballistic light imaging, time domain, frequency domain and continuous light measurement systems, optical coherence tomography, and photoacoustic tomography.
BME 6086-012 Special Topics in BME: Eukaryotic Cell Biology
4 credits.The class is organized into 13 modules that cover key areas in the field of Cell Biology. Each module consists of two lectures followed by a discussion session. The discussion sessions will usually involve the detailed consideration of a research article. In addition to lectures and paper discussions, the course will include two practical learning experiences. First, in conjunction with a paper writing assignment, students will serve as “reviewers” for manuscripts from their classmates, following a format that would be typical for a submitted journal article. The faculty discussion group leader will then serve as the “editor”, providing feedback to both the student author and reviewers. Second, the course will conclude with a “Cell Biology Meeting”, which will be organized like a scientific conference, and where students will provide short oral presentations on their paper topics. Students will also be assigned organizational and leadership roles in the Cell Biology Meeting, such as serving as session chairs and keynote speakers.
BME 6126 Optics for Biomedical Engineers
3 credits. Lecture. Also offered as ECE 6126
Two-dimensional signal processing using optical techniques. Topics include: review of two-dimensional linear system theory; scalar diffraction theory, Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction; Fourier transforming and imaging properties of lenses; image formation; frequency analysis of optical imaging systems; modulation transfer function; two-dimensional spatial filtering; coherent optical information processing; frequency-domain spatial filter synthesis; holography, Fourier and nonlinear holograms.
