Imaging using a variety of modalities from x-rays to magnetic resonance to photonics have revolutionized many areas of science including chemistry, materials and medicine. This course will give an overview of imaging techniques used in medicine. Selected modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy and optical imaging and spectroscopy will be explored in depth. Physical principles of nuclear magnetic resonance, MRI hardware, pulse sequences, safety and applications will be explored. Different types of optical microscopy and spectroscopy will be discussed and the interaction of photons with nano-particles and quantum dots and their applications for imaging will be explored.
