Course Objective

The aim of this course is to teach the student the basics of biomedical optics. The interaction between light and highly scattering media, such as e.g. tissue will be taught. This knowledge is central for a large number of clinical diagnostic tools as well as laser based treatment modalities. On successful completion of this course, students will be able to describe spectroscopic and diagnostic optical applications in medicine and discuss selected applications of lasers and optical techniques which are presently important in medicine. Biomedical optics is a fast developing field of research and the medical industry will require people with this knowledge in the near future.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   1. This course is expected to teach the student optical tools used in biomedical applications.
2   2. To give the students knowledge on spectroscopic and diagnostic optical applications in medicine and applications of lasers and optical techniques which are presently important in medicine.
3   3. To prepare the students for a career in the medical industry.
