Instructor: Meng-Lin Li (李夢麟)
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Course desc<x>ription:
<br>
<br>Introduce basic principles of biomedical ultrasound imaging systems 
<br>
<br>including conventional ultrasound and an emerging and promising ultrasound-
<br>
<br>mediated biophotonic imaging modality - photoacoustic imaging. Collateral 
<br>
<br>comparisons between these two imaging modalities (ultrasound versus optics) 
<br>
<br>are included for each lecture topic. System design considerations, related 
<br>
<br>signal processing and recent progress will be discussed. Fundamentals in 
<br>
<br>tissue optics will be also introduced.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Undergraduate students who have taken “Signals and Systems”, “Communication 
<br>
<br>Systems (I)”, or "Introduction to DSP" are also welcome. 
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Prerequisites:
<br>
<br>Signals and Systems (at least knowledge of Fourier transform and sampling), 
<br>
<br>or
