BPH-2001: Introduction to Biophotonics (3 credits)

Description

The course aims to introduce students to the different application fields of biophotonics. It has a particular emphasis on the introduction of the basics of biophotonics supporting disciplines that are necessary to understand and apply biophotonics. These concepts come from the biological sciences, chemistry, physics and engineering. The interdisciplinary aspects and applications of biophotonics are privileged, involving a number of relevant disciplines. This course is offered remotely.

GPH-3003: Hands-Biomedical Engineering (3 credits)

Description

This laboratory allows students to further explore the concepts associated with the interaction of ionizing radiation with matter. By combining theory views in previous courses in a series of experiments (Compton, photoelectric, neutron activation, radiation protection), the participant is better able to reflect critically on some key issues for medical applications (radioisotope production , X-ray beams from a medical linear accelerator). The notions of projection imaging (X-rays) and 3D computed tomography imaging (scanner, PET) are also studied in detail: contrast, resolution, modulation transfer function.
