additional remarks	Much of today’s understanding of cellular and molecular biology is based on an imaging method, for example a microscope, a film reader or fluorescence scanner. Imaging is similarly one of the major diagnostic tools in any hospital and clinic around the world. Importantly, there is a strong constant progress in advancing imaging methods through improved engineering approaches that allow for exciting new insights into tissue function and disease. Imaging has exploded in a major commercial product of large engineering firms as well. This course is intended for Senior Diploma or Bachelor’s electrical engineering students and for Master’s electrical engineering students and serves as an introduction to the utilization of engineering methods into biological imaging, in particular the development of imaging methods for biological and medical imaging. The course focuses on the fundamental principles of image formation, the sources of tissue contrast and the corresponding technological implementations that allow application in modern research and healthcare. Image processing and image rendering are related technologies that are mentioned but are not exhaustively covered in this course but in other lectures by the department. The introduction to imaging begins by justification of the field of imaging in the biological and medical sciences and description of structural, functional and molecular imaging. Principle biological and medical needs, as well as fundamental contrast mechanisms are presented. Basic mathematics and engineering principles of tomography and image formation and reconstruction are then described. The course then outlines major imaging methods, in an exemplary form, used for in-vivo cellular, animal and human imaging including conventional and laser scanning microscopy, X-ray CT, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Nuclear Imaging and Optical and Photo-acoustic Tomography, including common hardware and transducer implementation and typical applications. Lectures conclude with summarizing unifying principles and application regimes of imaging. Theoretical labs and hand-on laboratory with advanced photonic imaging methods are offered throughout the course.
