Imaging, What? Why?


Imaging – “ Making ” Pictures

� Beauty/Cute is skin deep (Devil inside @_@)


Why Biomedical Imaging?

� To less-invasively or non-invasively see inside of human body, animals, which is in-visible to the naked eyes

� 講簡單一點講簡單一點講簡單一點講簡單一點，，，，就是在做特別一點的就是在做特別一點的就是在做特別一點的就是在做特別一點的照相機照相機照相機照相機


How to Do Imaging?

� Matthew O'Donnell: " heat , sound , light , electric field , magnetic field --those are your senses." These are the ways that you can see inside of something. Any time that you can monitor change--the way that heat, sound, light, electric field, magnetic field intera cts with the body--you can take that information backwards then to figure out what is going on local ly.

Photoacoustic Imaging ( 光聲造影光聲造影光聲造影光聲造影)

(1) Laser pulse (<ANSI limit:e.g., 20 mJ/cm 2)

(4) Ultrasonic detection

(Wideband)

(3) Ultrasonic emission( KPa to MPa)振動產生超音波

(2) Local heating(~ mK)

造成熱脹冷縮

Goals

� To foster an understanding/concepts of the differen t biomedical imaging signals, their relative advantag es and disadvantages, and a familiarity with first principles.

� To provide hands-on experience with biomedical imaging data

� Most important of all, hopefully, to arise your int erests in biomedical imaging and to provide basic knowledg e and skills for further study


Course Description

� This is an introductory course of biomedical imagin g with emphasis on the “signals and systems” and “physics” aspects.

� Basic principles, instrumentation, image characteristics, clinical applications, recent progress, and applications in molecular imaging of the state- of-the-art imaging modalities will be discussed.

molecular event, but a collection of a single type of molecular event, which signifies that a particular process is turned off.
