3. Course Objectives

This course will cover two main topics including the principles of optical photon transport in biological tissues and various optical imaging techniques. The former topic includes an introduction to biomedical optics, Monte Carlo modeling of photon transport, radiative transfer equation and diffusion theory, hybrid Monte Carlo method and diffusion theory, and optical spectroscopy. The later part covers ballistic imaging, optical coherence tomography, diffuse optical tomography, photoacoustic tomography, and ultrasound-modulated optical tomography.
