BIOE 805.3: Introduction to Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Topics covered will include: NMR physics, pulse sequences, relaxation, diffusion tensors, functional imaging, spectroscopy, flow and perfusion, elastography, polarized gas imaging, image formation and hardware design.

Weekly hours: 6 Lecture hours
Permission of instructor required.


BIOE 806.3: Biomaterials

In the first month, the course will review biomaterials by classification. In the second month, the students will select a project topic to pursue. The course will then address manufacturing and testing of biomaterials, covering the topics such as corrosion, wear, and nanofabrication of biomaterials.

Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours


BIOE 820.3: Tissue Engineering

This course is to provide students with advanced knowledge in the area of tissue engineering. The topics covered in this course include biomaterials, nerve tissue engineering, cartilage tissue engineering, biological stents and endovascular neurosurgery devices.

Permission from the Course Coordinator is required.


BIOE 850.3: Synchrotron XRay Imaging

Will introduce some synchrotron specific imaging modalities such as K-edge subtraction, diffraction enhanced imaging, and phase contrast imaging with connections made to conventional imaging. The first part of the course will cover x-ray interactions, detection, dose estimation and source properties (conventional and synchrotron).

Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours
Permission of instructor required.


BIOE 898.3: Special Topics

Two 3 credit-unit courses can be taken independently. Topics will be selected according to the student's specific areas of interest. They include signal analysis for the acquisition and processing of physiological data, digital and optical picture processing for medical applications, theory of bioelectrodes, biological control theory and computer simulations of biological processes (some of these topics may be presented by faculty members specializing in that particular field).

Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours
