Optical Design for Biomedical Imaging

Level: Intermediate Length: 4 hours Format: In-Person Lecture Intended Audience: This material is intended for anyone who is interested in understanding and developing optical systems for biomedical applications. Basic knowledge of optical systems and lens design is expected. Description: This course provides attendees with a basic working knowledge of optical design for biomedical imaging. The course will begin with the fundamentals of biomedical optics, followed by light sources, detectors, and other optical components for biomedical imaging. The course will focus on optical systems and techniques for different imaging modalities. Learning Outcomes: This course will enable you to: - learn the fundamentals of biomedical optics - specify and select lenses, light sources, detectors, and other optical components - describe the optical system requirements for biomedical imaging - design and model illumination and imaging systems for biomedical applications Instructor(s): Rongguang (Ron)Liang is an associate professor at College of Optical Sciences, University of Arizona. Prior to that, he was a Senior Principal Research Scientist at Carestream Health Inc and a Principal Research Scientist at Eastman Kodak Company. He has been working on optical design for 15 years, in the fields of biomedical imaging, digital imaging, display, and 3D imaging. He is a Topical Editor of Applied Optics.
