Level: Introductory
Length: 4 hours
Format: Online
Intended Audience:
This material is intended for biomedical engineers and medical physicists interested in medical applications of ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared wavelengths from both conventional and laser light sources.
Description:
This course outlines the principles of light transport in tissues that underlie design of optical measurement devices and laser dosimetry for medicine. Topics include radiative transport in turbid tissues, the optical properties of tissues, modeling techniques for light transport simulation in tissues, analysis of reflectance and fluorescence spectra measured in turbid tissues by topical and imbedded optical fiber devices, video techniques, and criteria involved in establishing laser dosimetry protocols. Lessons are illustrated using case studies of optical fiber devices, video imaging techniques, and design of therapeutic laser protocols.
Learning Outcomes:
This course will enable you to:
- justify the dosimetry of therapeutic laser protocols
- conduct optical measurements of tissue optical properties
- design an optical measurement of tissue using optical fibers or video
- calculate light distributions in tissues
Instructor(s):
Steven L. Jacques is Professor in Biomedical Engineering, Tufts University.
